As vile and crazy as he was did he know what he was doing?
For instance. Iraq was dubbed "Bad Guy" by the U.N. yet he seemed to know how to work the system.

dont ever confuse intentions with intelligence. Hitler was probably the greatest orator of all time, and a very intelligent guy. As is the case with saddam, you don't get that much power without being a very talented human being. But u do get to choose how to use that power.

sadam was crazy like a fox, should have left him and his country alone, he was the only thing holding iraq together and kept iran at bay, he was brutal but his people should have had enough balls to stand together and say no more and deposed him themselfs, his sons were his down fall, crazy sadistic, but he knew exactly what he was doing. look at iraq today, no better off than 5 yrs ago. he had one of the best trained armys in the middle east, where are they now? we should,nt have to train them at all

He was a lot smarter than the people trying to run Iraq now. The only mistake he made was to invade Kuwait in 1990 otherwise the Americans would still be supporting him in his hostility to Iran

The interesting thing about each of these men is their motivation. In Haiti and most other 3rd world nations the rule is, "Might makes Right." You have to kill people to stay in power. The only way to conquer the world is to kill a lot of people. These men were just motivated. What makes these men "Evil" or "Out of their F'ing minds" but we say the Alexander the Great is Great, he killed a lot of people. We say that Caesar is great, he killed a bunch of people. Pizzaro, Cortez, I can go on and on. These men changed the world and killed and maimed thousands even millions. I am not condoning the actions of any of these men. I am just saying that History is written by those who conquer. If Hitler conquered the world he would have been thought of differently.

His personality fit the situation well. Only a crazy, sadistic, and evil individual could run over such a country.

Decades of Tribalism leads to the early death of the less intelligent and the rise of the morally corrupt. He was a product of his tribe.

i've read that he was extremely intelligent, basically a genius. An evil genius like Lex Luthor or similar.

I think he was very smart and he certainly knew what he was doing. He was a modern day Hitler.
