>>>There may come a time when a real psychopath will come to reign in a country<<<<
I consider Saddam to be such a case.


How? I would be interested in your explanation for why you think Saddam is a "real psychopath", and am especially curious about how you see Saddam so very different and singularly egregious when compared to other dictators, past and present.

>>> portion of which period he was a buddy of the US. He was not "evil" then. But he is "evil" now.<<<<
No he was. It just wasn't as well known.


Really? What part of his "evil" nature was mysterious to the US at the time, I wonder... That he was aggressive to his neighbours? That he did not care much for human rights?
