Hitler was a saint
Compared to Saddam, apparently.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Forget Stalin or Hitler.
The worst ruler in world history is Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, the Pentagon says.
"The Iraqi people will be free of decades and decades and decades of torture and oppression the likes of which I think the world has not ever seen before," Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke told a Pentagon news conference on Monday.
Clarke's comment was in line with a mounting stream of comments from Washington that have demonised the Iraqi leader as U.S. and British troops now look as if they may take longer than expected in removing him from power.
Saddam has been condemned for his exceptional brutality against his own people but historians generally agree that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and Soviet leader Josef Stalin were responsible for killing more people than any other dictators in world history.
Okay, I'd comment more, but I'm busy hitting my head against the wall many, many times.
