Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We are all products of our environments.

There is no real way to say what he will do at this point. He is quite a *&*&*^ed up man. He has killed thousands, and gets off on death. He has ordered tortures to others and watched it all, if not participated in it. He takes people he thinks may not be "loyal" to him, and puts them in a room, and takes a blowtorch to their baby's feet while they watch. He takes old women (grandmas) and impales them on hooks on the wall so he can slowly watch them die, he takes old men (grandpas) and takes a hack saw to their genitals, and sits and watches them die. Then later, he goes home to one of his "palaces" and watches video films of all his atrocities, cause it excites him, then goes and rapes some poor woman he has forced to be one of his mistresses. He is supposedly very afraid of death (which is not surprising, he's seen it all in all its hideous pain horror filled glory), overly concerned about "germs" and makes his followers kiss him on the shoulder. He undergoes platic surgery and dyes his hair and moustache so he looks younger and stronger, and doesn't usually wear glasses when speaking in public, as he thinks it makes him look weak.

Think of some sicko serial killer, and you are thinking of him.

I personally aren't happy about War (because I don't want to see innocent people that just happen to live there killed), but dang, I'm all for taking that evil person off this planet so he can't torture anyone anymore and can get a bit of his own medicine.

The answers are simple:
1) I am going to take out as many of my enemies as I possibly can by any means necessary. I will implore every citizen who is loyal to me to pick up a gun and fire at enemy troops. I will order all my loyal troops to fight until death and never surrender.

2) I will make the price of victory extremely high to my enemeies. I will destroy my own infrastructure to hinder their progress, including blowing up roads, bridges, and buildings. I will torch my own oil wells and poison the water and food supplies. I will plant bombs in every vehicle, whether it runs or not. I will plant land mines wherever possible. I will even handcuff children and old people to military targets to make my enemies afraid to damage them.

3) I will keep my last bullet for myself. As a maniacal and sadistic behavior, I will be damned before I allow myself to answer to your system of justice.

It is a good thing that I am neither evil nor a maniacal, sadistic dictator.</font>

Hope Saddam doesn´t read this, he might get some ideas.

If I was an maniacal and sadistic dictator I would do just what Azred mentioned, my enemies would eventually win but at a great price.
This would even inspire some people and I would have become a martyr and hero.
