Well, said son was not exactly a stand-up guy, either. Saddam put a death sentence on him because the son beat his personal food-taster to death in front of a house full of party guests. Then let him off the hook, because, after all, it was just a food taster.
The New York Times' obit on Saddam (Saturday's) was pretty darn good-- reminding one of all the atrocities for which he's responsible, along with how his big tactical error in attacking Iran (which led us to financially support him for a while) led to the invasion of Kuwait. I learned a lot.
