I recognized the legit fact that his authoritarian regime maintained stability in the region.
Much like the authoritarian regime of Tito maintained stability in the Balkans.
Were either dictator good? No.
Stability??? Yes when he was building up the Osirak nuclear reactors he was building up stability to the point that Israel had to attack. When he was gassing a couple hundred thousand kurds and shiites and increasing ethnic violence, he was increasing stability. When he was busy hanging mutilated bodies from the lamp posts in kuwait, he was increasing stability. When he shot missiles into Israel, he was increasing stability. When he massacred 1 million Iranians and the bodies are being found every day, he was increasing stability.

When you were talking, you were decreasing intelligence.
