    Saddam was the bad guy who kept all the other bad guys in check, i think in some ways knowing what's going on now, they would have kept him alive.

    I absolutely loved this guy - he has the gift of the gab, answering questions without actually giving anything sensitive away ... thank you Sir ❤

    Voice and physical features brought to mind brian blessed. What a humble and lovely guy, unless you're a baddie. It's interesting that he said hard to stop a lone wolf attack and what happened with the sword attack.
