I don't see what evidence you have for that. The mass graves are all old You are misinformed, some of the mass graves in Iraq were less than a year old. Saddam needed to kill routinely to maintain the climate of fear. Dictators in Saddam's position are always paranoid and always cut off from good information. Saddam's track record was also aggressive; as he himself has said, he started wars to keep the army busy. At some point it becomes useless to ask if he's certifiably crazy or not; he was paranoid, delusional regarding his actual strength, aggressive, and prone to wild miscalculations. Besides, he had no scruples about hiring and funding terrorists, using poison gas on civilians, and killing by the 100's of thousands. If you think it was cost-free to try to contain that, you are wrong. Obviously wrong.
