ok uncouth, not that I'm trying to flame or anything but how could you even really wonder whether he was as bad as he's made out to be??? I personally don't give a rat's @ss how he behaved in private, the important thing is, he murdered thousands and thousands of innocent people based on their religion. He was EVIL, but what's worse is that the U.S. stood by and let it happen....
The only thing worse than a person who takes advantage of others, is a person who allows it to happen.
