Why did Saddam Hussein kill people?
Saddam Hussein was a horrible person. He attacked nearly everyone who opposed his reign or was from outside of his Sunni Arab ethnic group. Saddam Hussein repressed the Sunni, Shiite, and Yazidi Kurds because they sought to have an independent country and gain equality with Arab Iraqis. Saddam Hussein preferred to maintain a discriminatory and prejudicial system.
Was Saddam Hussein a genocidal leader?
Yes, he used chemicals to kill thousands of Kurds and others.
Was Saddam Hussein better?
You need something to compare Saddam Hussein to. He was certainly worse than Abd al-Karim Qasem. As for whether he was better or worse than the current Iraqi government which seems incapable of stopping the insurgency, it depends on which sector of the Iraqi population you talk to. Some (especially the Kurds) favor the current Iraqi government. Others (especially Tikriti Sunni Arabs) favor Saddam Hussein.

As a Sunni, Saddam Hussein was suspicious that the Shiite population of Iraq was sympathetic to Iran (an Shiite Islamic theocracy). The Sunnis and the Shiities have been at odds with each other for centuries (just as the Protestant and Catholic divisions continue in Northern Ireland).

Absolutely yes! He also caused to be killed many hundreds of thousands of Shia Moslems and Kurds. His 2 sons if anything, were more sadistic.
