> using tax money to directly fund his lavish lifestyle
I am trying to find references for this lavish lifestyle claim. His Wikipedia entry says
"His home and office at Azizia was a bunker designed by West German engineers, while the rest of his family lived in a large two-story building. Within the compound were also two tennis courts, a soccer field, several gardens, camels, and a Bedouin tent in which he entertained guests. In the 1980s, his lifestyle was considered modest in comparison to those of many other Arab leaders."
I guess it's hard to say whether this amounts to a "lavish lifestyle" for a dictator.

- Udik 8y agoYes, there are several of those. I'm not very sure of their reliability though, as it is customary to paint in the worst possible light the people you've been waging war against.
