Imagine how much pain and suffering Saddam could have prevented if he had put a single bullet into his head years ago.
For some reason it baffles me...why couldn't that be done? I know the man was fairly cunning, but not that smart.
Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, ad nauseum - they had the knack. Suppose it comes with the territory. 6 inches, on the other side of a wooden leg divider, and WWII would have ended quite differently, I believe.
They tried to kill Hitler many times. Almost got him, but... I don't recall any attempts on stalin's life. That man was incredibly cold. Once he thought you were an enemy...bye-bye.
Nope, I don't either. I believe he essentially had his own son killed, in bad action/WWII. They only one he adored was his daughter, Svetlana. Out of respect for her and his (living) granddaughter, I'll say no more.
Really - I haven't heard these? Care to post a link or something, because that sounds very interesting.
