First, I guess I should mention that Idi Amin came out of his coma. It is regrettable, in retrospect, that his comatose body wasn't sent to Uganda after all because he'd now be under arrest and facing Ugandan justice.

Mark Steyn in The Sunday Telegraph (UK) has a non-obituary in He will not be missed and, with vintage Steynness, finds the absurdities and takes a free shot at the Saudis:

A convert to Islam, he escaped to Saudi Arabia, where he's been on "pilgrimage" ever since, living on a stipend from the royal family. At least in this instance, unlike their more recent subventions, the House of Saud began giving money to a mass murderer after he'd stopped killing.
