But I don't think he received any "unhuman" treatment from his enemies, and if anything, he suffered foremost and mostly at ego level, acknowledging his actual place in the world. In the end, I don't think he had one bit of taste of what he did to his own victims.

I partly agree. It is true that he did not suffer as much as his victims did, but he did suffer. (Of course we can always argue, was his suffering justified, but I was trying to avoid that argument... )
