Guys... the news source is PRAVDA.
Remember them? The "Weekly World News" of Russia? If you wait just a week or two, they'll have Saddam being visited in his cell by Batboy and Tammy Faye Baker and in a month they'll have the story about how he and Martha Stewart have become "pen" pals and how Martha's teaching him to redecorate his cell in red, white, and blue.

Well that is exactly the question, he was sane until about 15 years ago when his ego took over....

Late news, yet just as interesting.
Before his current health issues, it seems that to those who were able to observe his behaviour in solitude noticed some strange things. One could not blame him though, once a ruler of a country, now a powerless criminal in a US jail cell, whose become fatherless to two dead sons, it seems he"s sadly meeting his time.

Hussein goes insane

...Saddam started to have mental problems. At times, he would suddenly start mumbling something irrational. Afterwards, he would sit in total silence, without uttering a single word. Doctors assume that the Iraqi leader used to consume a lot of alcohol or used drugs in the past. At the same time, the symptoms could have been caused by his far from young age as well as death of his sons.
Hussein has several photographs of Udai and Kusai (his sons) in his cell. Interestingly, a portrait of Gerge W. Bush of an unknown origin also neatly hangs on the wall. This fact can be interpreted as another evidence of Hussein"s insanity. Had he been well, the former Iraqi leader would not have hung a picture of his enemy. And in case the portrait had been hung by someone other than Hussein, perhaps, the captive has gone crazy as a result of constantly staring at Bush" intellectual face.
In the meantime, according to a recently conducted poll, nearly 70% of Americans in the US support the idea of public broadcast of Saddam"s execution. 21% of Americans are even willing to pay for watching Osama bin Laden being executed. Another 11% would like to enjoy watching the last moments of Hussein"s life. So there you have it, a democratic society with experience.
Please visit the link provided for the complete story.
By reading the entire article, I was slightly shocked and saddened to some of the information.
For one, he constantly stares at Bush"s "intellectual" face... Need I say more?
Two, a 70% american poll in favour of a public broadcasted execution!? Not to mention a 21% wanting to watch Osama Bin Laden"s, and another 11% wanting to watch the last moments of Saddams life... With some willing to pay.
Ok, the man screwed up big time, has had a mental break down regarding his fallen superiority and dead sons. Has he already not lost as much as any other person has lost? Trial him for his crimes, then trial Bush
