Well, he wasn't bad, but I guess the quality of leaders really became lower compared to the age of World Wars.
Leaders like Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Fidel Castro....
Look at how energetic THOSE leaders were. (or IS, in terms of Castro)
Saddam lacked his style, I guess.
Being a revolutionary leader isn't really anything about strategy or anything, but style, and eloquence.
