A paranoid psychopathic sadistic one. Anyone trying to replace Saddam with Islamist would've been tortured and killed. To suggest otherwise is to suggest Saddam "wasn't that bad" that he actually believed in a cause and wasn't just out for himself.Originally Posted by J Wolfsberger
I don't believe that JW was suggesting this at all.

Steve Blair is correct. That's not what I was suggesting (but I do see how it could be read that way). To be explicit, Saddam was a rank hypocrite who used Islam as a tool to further his own ambitions.
