...predecessor and father Kim Il Sung died in 1994, he was regarded outside North Korea as something of a joke--a pampered playboy who, with his Mao-era leisure suits, puffed-up coiffure and shoe lifts, would likely falter in his father's footsteps. Though he's maintained his singular sense of style, Kim has lessened his reputation for kookiness.

...piece, Hussein, believing Iraq could dominate its larger neighbor, started a bloody eight-year war with Iran that decimated his army and almost caused his government to fall. By 1988, the final year of the war against Iran, Iraq was riven with rebellion; only Hussein’s singular ferocity in dealing with domestic unrest, as exemplified by his murder of thousands of Kurds with poison gas, prevented his dictatorship from falling...
