From the track record of Saddam, (including his sons who were brought up to witness violent acts), it is possible he is "evil".
bin Laden? Again, I don't know him. He has his reasons, whether valid or not. I doubt I will have the opportunity to ever chat with him to get any clue as to whether he is "evil" or not.
So, what's your point? Since you are also unlikely to meet these people, how can you say they are evil or not??
Tho I can name some evil people on this planet - they are actually very rare. I have only ever met two in my life and you know very well when you do meet them, - the room fills with an evil stench.
Somehow, I think you do not know what you are talking about - certainly no disrespect tho!

'Evil', like beauty is all in the eye of the beholder. Bush calls Osama evil, Osama calls Bush evil - both know they're right, but clearly someone has to be wrong.
I forget what I was reading - I think it was the diary of anne frank, but it raised an interesting point: People aren't all evil or all good, there are no blacks & whites definied, they're just different shades of grey - even the worse ppl have goodness in them, and conversely even the best ppl can do bad things sometimes!
