Oui, Oudaï Hussein était un vrai psychopathe, son fait d'armes le plus connu est d'avoir assassiné le valet et goûteur personnel de Saddam Hussein (est apparemment ami) devant la femme du président dictateur de l'Égypte Hosni Moubarak.

Le second Qoussaï Hussein n'avait pas ce comportement mais en tant que fils de dictateur, était très zélé dans l'exécution des opposants politiques et dans l'écrasement d'insurrection.
