I think he gave himself up because he had a tooth ache.

You may not be far from the truth. He did look pretty bad. Poor Saddam... He looked like a broken man. He messed up when he thumbed his nose at the wrong country. There are dozens of terrible attrocities occuring in dictatorships all over the world... But none as juicy as Iraq! All we needed was an excuse.

Dictators always end badly, or does somebody remember a dictator, who lived happily ever after?

[Flandrien]

Fidel Castro ?

[quinns]

Yes, and how about...

Kim Jong-II -- North Korea?
Robert Mugabe -- Zimbabwe?
Muammar el-Qaddafi -- Libya?

Who am I forgetting?

How did Mussolini end up?

[quinns]

Not a happily-ever-after ending....

"On the German collapse (Apr., 1945) Mussolini was captured, tried in a summary court-martial, and shot with his mistress, Clara Petacci. Their bodies, brought to Milan, were hanged in a public square and buried in an unmarked grave. Mussolini's body was later removed, and in 1957 it was placed in his family's vault."

That ain't so bad.
