Does that clarify my meaning of "sub-human" for you? Similarly, I would describe Saddam and Hitler as being "sub-human".

The problem is that they are human, thatââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s why Hitler is such a disturbing thought. He was a real man; he had thoughts and feelings just like all of us. The idea that people like that are 'sub-human' has the danger of dismissing these peopleââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s acts as something no person is capable of.
The point is that they were human and people could act like that again. The real question is what drives people to commit gross acts of evil such as those committed by Saddam and Hitler rather than dismissing them as sub human.
Your kind of right about the only difference between him and Saddam is a matter of a scale. However there a few key differences 1) this guy is in jail he cannot cause more problems, Hitler could have. Saddam is in Jail and canââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t commit any more crimes. 2) The matter of scale is still important
