Don't get me wrong. I think that all brutal dictators and serial killers are monsters. However, when I sometimes hear about their early experiences, I find myself pitying them. For example, I heard that Saddam Hussein's mother tried to miscarry him when she was pregnant. Also, Adolf Hitler's father was abusive. Not only that, but Gary Ridgway still wet the bed when he was past a certain age and his mother would afterwards clean his genitals in a strangely intense manner. All that being said, though, their experiences don't excuse their behavior and there are plenty of people who have experienced worse who didn't turn into monsters.
