Saddam Hussein's foreign policy was characterized by aggressive expansionism, most notably illustrated by the invasion of Iran in 1980 and Kuwait in 1990, which led to the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War, respectively. Domestically, he implemented a brutal authoritarian regime marked by severe repression of dissent, the use of state terror, and the promotion of a strong nationalist and Ba'athist ideology. His government also focused on modernizing the economy, particularly through oil revenues, while maintaining tight control over social and political life. Overall, his policies aimed to consolidate power, maintain regime stability, and elevate Iraq's status in the Arab world.

Why didn't Iraqis like Saddam Hussein?
Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti was Iraq's Fifth President from 1979 until 2003. (Note: al-Tikriti is his last name, not Hussein, which is his father's name, so it is proper to refer to Saddam Hussein as Saddam or al-Tikriti, but not Hussein.) He distinguished himself as a cunning totalitarian monster who ruled Iraq through iron-fisted laws, domestic militancy, and mass persecution of minorities. This is not unlike totalitarian monsters in other countries, who ruled similarly. (like Serbia's Slobodan Milosevic or Argentina's Juan Perón). It is this violence and totalitarianism that made Saddam Hussein virulently disliked.
