Executing Saddam Hussein was an Act of Vandalism

Wow MJ not too bad of a find, a few spins that aren't mentioned enough, if at all. I'm not sure, though, how studying a criminal like Hitler, or Hussein that we can really benefit and learn from, they we're both psychotic, and unconventional leaders/dictators.

They were, however, excellent at what they did despite their moral perversion. I would love to know what made them tick.

I've heard on different documentaries that several people thought Hitler was a homosexual, that he had somewhat of OCD with many of his daily life activities, not that either of those make a difference or not.

People will really do whatever they can to paint people they see as 'evil' with a brush that makes them as different from them as possible. People don't like to see qualities they share with people they don't like.

He very well could have been, but it's also highly likely it's just people making themselves feel better.

Yes, which is why most of them are tagged with "evil genius" ... most of them aren't as powerful as they are/were on accident.

Dude what made them become so famous was their charisma...case closed.
Honestly what the fuck do you think makes people popular? A big dick? A beard? No, charisma. With charisma comes the know-how to play peoples fears and hatred to your own gain. Other than that they were your typical person with some perks and flaws that happened to work to their advantage or disadvantage. You can't call someone a psycho simply because they enforced their own belief on another person if so then christians were and still are psychos because I know a few that would force someone to convert if they knew it wouldn't cost them their lives and most force their children to follow the same belief.

Charisma is strength of personality, largely. The ability to properly use your charisma is a question of intellect.

The perfect example was Hitler (as much as I hate to use an example used by everyone for most things). The man was charismatic, and he was known for his stirring speeches. His propaganda campaigns (often perfected by associates of his) helped sway others to his cause.

Everything has a role in their rise to power, but you always want a charismatic figurehead that will touch others.

Don't forget he also did a lot of good in regards to public works as well as pull Germany out of its own deep economic depression. Anyone who can pull shit like that gets extra points with the people.

There are a lot of charismatic people. There are very few people as powerful as Hitler.

Damn your ability to say what I wanted to but succeeding. I should stop posting at work, it's making me look stupid.

As I said he had many other perks and flaws that worked with and against him.
