I would put Saddam on the same scale of Stalin. A tyran who brutalized his OWN PEOPLE, in addition of course of the Kurdes. A multi billionaire who stole every dollar from his own country to terrorize, arrest, torture, wipe anyone out for ANY REASON, a butcher who slaughtered even his best friends and family relatives. Even Hitler did not do this, he "only" slaughtered the non "good Germans" people. But his OWN folks, until the last days of WW2, until h still believed they would follow him to doom, until then, he took care of them, despite of course the Gestapo threat. Under Saddam regime, as for Stalin's one, anyone could be arrested, ANYONE, FOR ANY REASON, AT ANY TIME, ANY WHERE. This ultra powerful tyrant whom, we see here, before his arrest, wearing peasant clothes, torn clothes, speaking to a little boy, by a river, and telling him that himself was beaten by his father when he was the little boy's age, this monstrous and powerful tyrant, who owned dozens of golden palaces and a several bilons of dollars fortune and because of whom millions of Iraqi people shivered when they pronounced or heard his name, this man suddenly became a normal person, speaking with a poor kid. This is for me the most powerful sequence of the whole show.
