I wouldn't be so sure. I mean, let's take a look at some historical examples for defeated dictators.
Former Sovjet dictator Mikhail Gorbachov:
Doing just great, is a respected politician in Russia.
Former East German dictator Erich Honegger:
Was put on trial for ten years during which he was well fed and lived a decent life, died before being prosecuted.
Former Yugoslav dictator Slobodan Milosevic:
Still on trial, also enjoys a bearable lifestyle.
Sooooo... why should it be any different with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Husain Al-Tikrit? I mean, if the US just kills him without a proper, well-organised, lengthy trial, the whole world will be on its back within the day... >_>
