Introduction



    This blog will be a series comparing the lives and times of Stanley "Tookie" Williams and "Suddam Hussein. Though both are from two totally different sides of the planet they controlled others with fear and used their power for their own benefits rather than helping others. Within the last stretches of their lives they may have regretted the decisions they made they both ended up with executions for "An Eye for An Eye, A Tooth for a Tooth".



What traits do these to really share? They may be the same but how much do they really contrast? One was an African American male while the other was Iraqi. Saddam was an educated man who delved in politics while Tookie learned from the streets of LA and was self educated. Saddam was surrounded by family meanwhile Tookie grew up in a single mother home.

Yet the two were both leaders. They took what wanted, they lead the most feared groups in history. They were aggressive. Their hunger for control and power lead them to be notorious yet ultimately dead not by time but by execution by the right of the law and morals.
