Of course his death wasn't sad. I hate to break Godwin's law, but Scar was Hitler in lion form, watch the second half of "Be Prepared" and you'll easily see the resemblance, with his bombastic oratory and the Nazi-type march by the hyenas. Also I read somewhere that an early idea of Lion King was to have Scar turn Pride Rock into a concentration camp, but that idea was scratched. Still, he killed a lot of lionesses by starvation, without any remorse whatsoever.
I think Mufasa should have killed Scar in the beginning when Scar turned his back, but Mufasa was too kind. The truth is, there would have been a lot less future suffering. Simba was also too generous when he gave mercy to Scar near the end.
