So much belief, so little to base it on....Saddam was brutal but he wasn't retarded enough to think the world was going to allow him to invade anyone. I suggest you have look at Saddam's actual career. What made him think he could invade Iran, a country 3 times the size of Iraq? What made him think he could wipe out the Kurds with poison gas? What made him think he could invade Kuwait? What made him kill tens of thousands of Shia? Were these sober, rational decisions, or were they the product of gambles weighed in one tyrant's brain, using whatever information the yes-men around him dared to give him? How can you say "so little to base it on" when all I am doing is imagining that he would do AGAIN what he had already done BEFORE? What is it with this impulse to white-wash a tyrant who modelled his career on Stalin?
