Evil, sadism, torture, insanity and tackiness all in one package.

From what I've heard, Uday was actually going to be passed over in favor of the other Saddam spawn (Qusay (sp?)as Saddam's heir, because even Saddam considered him to be too psychotic to rule.

Saddam may have wanted to pass Uday over, but Uday had his own powerbase, including the Fedayeen Saddam that would have made such a succession difficult. There was always a chance that if we didn't remove the regime that Uday would inherit the keys to the kingdom. No thank you.
