It's not easy being a terrorist or dictator and even for these guys they needed a hobby.
When Adolf Hitler wasn't plotting to kill everyone he didn't like he drew Disney characters. A little side note Snow White was his favorite movie.
No one will ever accuse Osama bin Laden of begin in love with the western world, though he does have one guilty pleasure volleyball. I hear that he had a killer serve.
The heavy handed dictator of Iraq Saddam Hussein had a soft spot for romance. When he wasn't trying commit genocide he would pen romance novels. I wonder if his books in Iraq were always best sells?
When he wasn't terrorising the streets of Chicago Al Capone wrote love songs. Lets remember he was famous for the St. Valentine massacre, a true romantic at heart.
When he wasn't killing off the Russian middle class Joseph Stalin drew naked men. Wait just a minute here Hitler drew, Stalin drew, any connection?
When he isn't just standing around and allowing North Korea to slip back into the stone age Kim Jong II is creating his own version of basketball.
Three points for a dunk, four points for a three pointer that touches nothing but the net, negative one point for missing a free throw, and eight points for a shot in the last three seconds. Now if he could just figure out how to keep his people feed, oh why bother with that.

I wonder if the art school that turned him down ever thinks about that. If they would have excepted him he would have spent his life as a medicore artists instead of killing a few million people. I am not saying they should have taken him. They had no way to know. But that one decision really changed the course of his life and lot of other peoples.

I think the exposure to war that he saw during his service in WWI is what actually pushed him over the edge some people are not able to handle that kind of violence. He also wasn't the most stable person from the start at least from what I have read about him pre chancellor of Germany and the Third Reich.

Interesting that Hitler drew Disney characters. I knew he was once a housepainter and I've seen some of his drawings but I didn't know about the Disney connection.
I've always found it scary to say that least that so many of those that wish to destroy us are steeped in the culture of America. Those creatures who flew the planes on 911 wore blue jeans and were trained in our flight schools. Jeez, they probably had a coke or pepsi on those fatal flight. Do they know the meaning of hypocrisy?
I know this isn't exactly your point but your thread kinda hit an old nerve with me.

Ah you realize while all these bad people had those innocent (except for Stalin) hobbies. It was so they could delude their people into thinking they were nice guys.
Quote: Hitler to some visiting newsmen. "Ja here is a drawing of Mickey Mouse. Vould you think that such a one like me vould wish to murder all the Jews in Europe."
Get the idea?
No connection in the drawing. -that would mean anyone who draws is a potential terrorist or mass murderer.

Well all these "Bad" people or "evil" people are at the end of the day still people and if you noticed they all had jobs well most of them have/had jobs that involve either running a rouge group or running a whole nation. Of course they are going to have something to do when they aren't running the country. I mean everyone has some hobby. That they do out side of work why would they be different? I kinda would like to know what Gibbs or some of the other puppet masters of Hitler did in their free time.
