On Shabbos Parshas Bo Nun-Aleph (January 1991) the Rebbe King Moshiach Shlit"a spoke of the destruction of Bavel (Babylon, Iraq), "May it be the will of Hashem that the nations of the world will continue to destroy and destroy, until the true victory". At that time the Rebbe instructed not to widely publicize the Sicha, for "the time will yet come"....
The whole Sicha and other articles on this subject can be found here http://www.torah.5u.com/moshiach.html
Iraqi authorities hung the former dictator just before dawn on Shabbos after he was convicted in a months-long trial of being responsible for the 1982 killing of 142 men and boys in the town of Dujail. Saddam led his country into multiple conflicts that cost over a million lives. He launched 39 Scud missiles on Israel unprovoked during the 1991 Persian Gulf War and financed Palestinian terrorist groups among other things.
PS.It's interesting to note that the war in Iraq started on the 16th of Adar 5763 the day exactly 12 years after the Rebbe King Messiah spoke about the future victory of America in it's war against "Basra" (Iraq) like it says in Isaiah 63 "Who is that coming from Edom in crimsoned garments from Basra etc.")(majority of war casualties on our side primarily among the British soldier were in Basra specifically ) . Sadam was captured on 19th of Kislev (Chassidic new year
- day of liberation from prison of the 1st Rebbe of Chabad ) he was brought before the judge the 1st time on 12th of Tamuz the birthday and the day of liberation of the 6th Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch (the father in law of the Rebbe King Moshiach) from the Soviet internal exile in 1927 and his final appeal was denied on 5th of Teves known as "didan notzach" - we won the day celebrated by Chabad Chassidim since 1987 when the federal court found that priceless books stolen from Chabad library by a relative of the Previous Rebbe of blessed memory who claimed they belong to him as part inheritance belong to all the Chassidim and must be returned to Agudas Chassidei Chabad.
And finally Sadam was executed by hanging this Shabbat 9th of Tevet the day preceding the 10th of Teves the start of the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonian emperor king Nevuhadnetzer that led to the destruction of the 1st temple of Somomon and the 70 year old Babylonian exile.
PPS. There are those who don't fast on his day as the Rebbe King Messiah said in 1991 that Rabbis should decree that these fasts no longer apply since Messiah is finally here and we are in the process of redemption when as the sages teach these 4 fasts associated with the destruction of the temples shall be turned into days of rejoicing.
May we soon see the rebuilding of the holy temple in Jerusalem with complete and final redemption when all nations will serve G-d in one accord.
With respect and blessing.
