Was Saddam the start of terrorism?

Saddam's goal was to kill as many Islamic extremists as he could while in power because they posed a threat against him and his country. Many people now believe that it may have been a mistake to remove him from power since he was the only thing keeping most of the middle east and his country under control and free from terrorists because they feared him.
How did Saddam ruled Iraq?
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.

Why did Saddam Hussein attack the Kurds?
Saddam Hussein, strapped for cash due to his eight-year war in Iran on behalf of the U.S., decided to regain Kuwait as a means of increasing his income. Kuwait had been carved out of southern Iraq by British troops. When asked her thoughts on this move, U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie replied that the U.S. government had "no opinion" and that the matter of Kuwait was not associated with North America. But when he moved his troops into Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush mobilized a United Nations force against him, backed by a U.S. $4 billion secret fund provided by his business associates in Saudi Arabia.Answer1. misreading position of US Before the invasion of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein had met with the American ambassador to discuss the problems Iraq had with Kuwait. From the meeting, Saddam Hussein believed that the Americans were sympathetic to Iraq's situation and were not likely to go to Kuwait's aid. this might have encouraged the Iraqi leader to think that he would not face severe consequences.2. Saddam Hussein's leadershipSaddam Hussein, a Sunni Muslim, had always seen himself as a great leader of the Arab world. In his eyes, Kuwait's repeated refusals to give in to Iraqi demands were seen as defiance and a personal attack on him.Saddam Hussein was also worried that there would be an uprising in Iraq against him, especially by the Shi'a Muslims, who formed the majority in Iraq. the Iran-Iraq war had left the Iraqi economy and country devastated. Although Saddam Hussein claimed that the war with Iran had been a success, it did not appear to his people. prices of basic necessities were extremely high and the people were unhappy with him. moreover, the Iraqi government had built up a large army numbering a million personnel during the war. Saddam Hussein feared that the Iraqi army would turn against him if the situation in Iraq did not improve.He is person who is filled with ambitions and would not like others to defy against him. he wants everyone to do at his bidding. to prevent defiance, Hussein had to be very firm.3.

Why did Saddam Hussein kill all those people?
Hussein, who was Sunni, wanted to murder Shiite Muslims because he feared their growing power in the south, and that they would revolt against him. The Rulers hardly have any religion or Faith. Their Faith is Power. No Muslim (Sunni or Shia etc) is permitted by Allah Almighty to kill any Human being without a just cause. Killing an innocent human being (irrespective of his caste, creed, color, religion) is like killing the whole humanity. This is what Allah Almighty says in the Qur'an. Thus the Rulers kill for their Power, not religion.
