Ask the people he butchered.

The star witness against the government of Iraq hobbled into the room,
her legs braced with clumsy metal callipers. "Anna" had been tortured
two years ago. She is now four years old. 

Her father, Ali, is a thick-set Iraqi who used to work for Saddam's
psychopathic son, Uday. Some time after the bungled assassination of
Uday, Ali fell under suspicion.  
Saddam's secret police have been accused of torturing children
 
He fled north, to the Kurdish safe haven policed by Western fighter
planes, but leaving his wife and daughter behind in Baghdad. 

So the secret police came for his wife. Where is he? They tortured
her. And when she didn't break, they tortured his daughter. 

"When did you last see your father? Has he phoned? Has he been in
contact?" They half-crushed the toddler's feet. 

Now, she doesn't walk, she hobbles, and Ali fears that Saddam's men
have crippled his daughter for life.
