Before you judge Aziz, remember that for many years Saddam kept his eldest son locked up in prison, and subject to torture, as an extra inducement for Aziz to do as he was told. This was true of many others in his inner circle as well.

"And, finally, there is the New Jersey signer, Abraham Clark.
He gave two sons to the officer corps in the Revolutionary Army. They were captured and sent to the infamous British prison hulk afloat in New York harbor known as the hell ship 'Jersey,' where 11,000 American captives were to die. The younger Clarks were treated with a special brutality because of their father. One was put in solitary and given no food. With the end almost in sight, with the war almost won, no one could have blamed Abraham Clark for acceding to the British request when they offered him his sons' lives if he would recant and come out for the King and parliament. The utter despair in this man's heart, the anguish in his very soul, must reach out to each one of us down through 200 years with his answer: 'No.'"

Clark saved no lives by sacrificing his sons; he endangered not one bit the fledgling nation's struggle for independence and liberty by giving in to the British tyrants and saying a few words he didn't mean. Clark was truly a man of honor.
Aziz, on the other hand, minimally allowed who knows how many thousands of Iraqis to perish, most likely slowly and in tremendous agonly, to spare his son from torture. A real man of honor, especially a true Christian, would have refused the demands of a truly evil, most likely Satanically possessed, dictator, and put his son into the protective hands of the one true God. Judging by his actions, we can reasonably conclude what kind of a "man" Aziz actually is.
