0 There's a typo here - climatic relates to climate. I think the author meant to write "anti-clima01b01font00c02font02b00tic" 050010id5

0 "an anticlimactic end" is easy to understand. In chinese, it means something that is with tiger head abut snake tail. Saddam is a such kind of man. When he was ruler, he was fierce, but the end is so forceless.0-

0 I take what you are saying, but I think the writer is really saying that for such a notorious person, the trial ended rapidly and the execution was carried out with very little public display or fanfare. There is no sense of a climax in the event.0-

0 Hi Feebs11: In the saying of yours, "anti-climactic" is something alike " watery/flatly". The fist sentence of the report is ironizing the notorious ruler. 02br
