Sadaam Hussein, until he died in 2003 for hanging.
Yes, Saddam Hussein died on December 30, 2006
Your so pathetic, you have no proof that saddam hussein killed, murdered, and ruled brutally. And your saying that saddam has WMD. The united states broke their way into iraq forcfully and found nothing. i can back this up because George bush himself said;and i quote; ''we broke into iraq because we thought they had mass destruction weapons, did they? no they didnt''. Thats the proof that they didnt have WMD. His own people love him, iraq was one of the most poorest countries in the world but saddam hussein made it one of the richest. They didnt have water or elecdtricity he gave them all of that. Have you seen the cities the iraq? Im sure you havent so put your mouth where the evidence is. Thank you for your time :)

By makeing his people fear him.
Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq for the past two decades, has the dubious distinction of being the world's best known and most hated Arab leader. And in a region where despotic rule is the norm, he is more feared by his own people than any other head of state. A former Iraqi diplomat living in exile summed up Saddam's rule in one sentence: "Saddam is a dictator who is ready to sacrifice his country, just so long as he can remain on his throne in Baghdad." Few Iraqis would disagree with this. Although none living in Iraq would dare to say so publicly.
by Viet Vo I think Saddam Hussein killed people because he like to see people dying and did it for fun. I think he also did this is because he played to much violent shooting games and using it in real life. The U.S capture himin a secret under ground bunker. He was hanged around 2006 because he was found GUILTY and after his death, they made a statue of him as mormorial.
Since the wording "three years after Saddam's capture" are in the question, this period is too early to discuss the situation of Iraq after the Coalition Forces withdrawal and the Rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and this question will address only what was going on before 2010 (3 years after Saddam's execution).Saddam Hussein was a dictator who was very effective at repressing any and all dissent to his rule. This provided an incredible level of stability, even though it has numerous human rights atrocities. When Saddam Hussein was removed, the Coalition Forces dismantled much of Saddam Hussein's internal repression and torture mechanics. This led to different tribal* and Jihadist groups which had been forcibly defanged during the Saddam Hussein period were able to reassert themselves locally without a powerful national police/army to stop them. These groups all have very different visions of what Iraq should look like and different ideas about what territories they wish to control. These visions are mutually exclusive. As a result, conflict erupts between these groups and the reconstituted Iraqi Army is too weak to enforce the will of the federal Iraqi government over these tribal groups. The Coalition Forces were too few, too spread out, and too unfamiliar with the local networks and mindsets to replace the Iraqi Army in maintaining stability. While the Coalition Forces were able to reach out to some of the tribes and align them with the government, this resulted in control in parts of Iraq, but this also led to the Coalition Forces also inheriting those tribes' adversaries and resistance growing in those pockets.* Note that a tribal group may be differentiated from another tribal group by being a member of a different ethnoreligious group (Sunni Arabs, Shiite Arabs, and Kurds), but within each ethnoreligious group, there are numerous different tribes. A significant portion of tribal conflict was exclusively between Shiite Arab tribes that were vying for local power.
Iraq is a country in middle East. It is divided on very deep rooted ethnic and sectarian lines. Before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, it was ruled by Saddam Hussein. Under Saddam's autocratic rule these sectarian and ethnic divides were not very prominent. However, US invasion and subsequent failure to control situation has led to rise of ISIS in the country which is threatening regional peace.
