You missed the point. I think he's an evil, brutal nutbag. Believing in Reincarnation is just part of that.
But Megalomainacs have a psychological profile. They're different than you and me.
The point is to know our enemy.
I think you have understood Saddam Hussien's personality, there are questions that we still do not have answered. What is his son like? What are the implications of his meglomania interacting with the meglomania of Ossama? I expect there would be a period of extreme cooperation sort of like Il Duce and the Furher.Saddam is getting older and we have no info on his physical health how will that affect things?
