Tito and Saddam Hussein only stayed in power because they created a system
where the deck was stacked in a way their opponents were too busy fighting
over their differences rather than joining sides to defeat a common enemy. 
Tito kept the Serbs, Croats, and Muslims in check the same way Hussein kept
the Sunni, Shia and Kurds in check.  If any group appeared to be showing an
advantage, use scare tactics to gather the other minorities to rally against
them.

Technically speaking they were both successful.  Tito was defeated by
death, and Hussein's downfall was in threatening outside nations.  No
internal forces could take them down.
