Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) was a soldier in the army of Iraq and later a politician in the Ba'ath ruling party. He rose to the position of vice-chairman of the Revolutionary Command, and later president (actually dictator) of his country.
He led his country to war against neighboring Iran in a protracted conflict from 1980 to 1988. After invading Kuwait in 1990, he maintained his power despite the defeat of his army by US and coalition forces. His support for terrorism and his research into nuclear and other weapons brought him into conflict with the United States, who had originally supported him in the 1970's.
He was deposed by the US invasion in 2003. He was tried, convicted, and hanged for criminal abuses against the people of Iraq, most notably the Kurds but including members of his own party.

What key accusation did Saddam Hussein make against Kuwait?
The United States has leveled numerous accusations at Saddam Hussein, so just choosing one is rather odd.

How did the death of Saddam Hussein affect the United States?
Not at all. As villains go, Sadaam Hussein was a great one, and his execution by the new pro-Western Iraqi government was celebrated for about fifteen minutes in the US. However, if he had lived the rest of his life in prison, or in hiding, it would not have affected the US at all. His removal from power in Iraq was what affected the US.
How did Israel deal with terrorism?
Israel knows how to deal with terrorism better than the United States. Back in the early 1980's, Israel bombed one of Saddam Hussein's facilities known to be producing weapons of mass destruction; perhaps this is one reason the U.S. never found such weapons when invading the country 25 years later. It weakened Hussein beyond repair--not just the bombing, but the threat of another one down the road.
