Is he an insecure baby though? He's definitely a brutal dictator, but nothing he does strikes me as insecure. And to get ahead of that particular argument, not tolerating challenges to one's authority is just authoritarianism 101.

    As far as I'm concerned, being unable to exist as a person without striving to obtain and hold a dictatorial position is insecurity enough.

    That's not what that word means though. There are plenty of reasons, from self-enrichment to ideology, one might want to become a dictator that have nothing to do with insecurity.
