Yay! Another vote for Saddam and Adolf!
So, does it make you sad that they both died in their sin (most likely)?
Yes!

Saddam, yes. Hitler, I probably would have just shot him. That's not what I should have done but I still probably would have done it. Not a very spiritual answer, but an honest one.
Maybe I should ask it another way. Let's face it: it's pretty unlikely that either of those guys made a death-bed conversion. Not a successful one, at least!

Those two guys, and many others of a similar ilk, represent something horrible and evil that must be (and I believe will eventually be) removed from our universe. The precise "how" and the mechanisms involved are in God's hands. Whether this "removal" involves some sort of "reconciliation" for the named souls or not, I have no idea.
My only hope is for peace and justice. My faith for accomplishing these ends is in God Almighty.
Just found this quote, and thought it was apropos.
Can the believing husband in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving wife in Hell? Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell? Can the loving wife in Heaven be happy with her unbelieving husband in Hell? I tell you, yea! Such will be their sense of justice that it will increase rather than diminish their bliss. -- Jonathan Edwards

It's interesting that the "yes"s for Adolf are qualified by "it means they had to ____________."
The unconditional grace of God, is truly understood, would blow our ever-living minds.
What in the world is that supposed to mean? Hitler would not have had to see a life change by the power of God where he would have ceased to murder people in order to be in heaven? lol
