World reaction to the execution of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein ranges from jubilation to condemnation and anger.

President Bush has called the execution of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein an "important milestone" for Iraq on its path to becoming a democracy that can govern, sustain and defend itself.
