I kept an Excel for awhile of the people in the ME who were executed (that I could find in the news). Uday was the worst. 36 in one day, and he WATCHED.
Hafiz Assad and Saddam Hussein were the evil twins. Basher, Hafiz's son, is really not better. He may have had all the Western education in the world, but his upbringing was the worst it could be. Fruit doesn't fall too far from the tree.
