328 Questions
Was Saddam Hussein a psychopath?
Yes - although officially a diagnosis requires interview by a psychologist/iatrist in most jurisdictions, Saddam (like alltyrants) showed ample evidence of grandiosity, ruthlessness, lack of empathy, dishonesty, envy, paranoia and, in his dying moments, lack of anxiety.
All these are psychopathic traits. In a developed country he'd either be in jail, or running a hedge fund, one or t'other.
Were the Shiites in Iraq Saddam Hussein's strongest supporters?
NO. Saddam Hussein, as a Sunni Muslim, derived most of his support from fellow Sunni Muslims. The Shiite majority of Iraq was vehemently opposed to Saddam Hussein and, as a result, he engaged in many repressive campaigns against them. Most notably, the Massacre of Shiites at Dujail was the only such repression for which Saddam Hussein was tried prior to his execution in 2006.
He was a Muslim, according to a statement from Mutah Beale who was in his band.
"From Allah we belong to Allah we return it is confirmed our brother hussein fatal member of the outlawz returned to Allah last night due to a car accident. Our brother fatal did accept islam and We ask Allah to have mercy on him..."
Why are ethnicities more visible in Iraq after Saddam Hussein was overthrown?
In the days of Saddam Hussein, Saddam, himself a member of the political ba'ath sect of Sunni Islam, viciously suppressed any kind of individualism in his Iraq. He attacked Shias in the south and east and Kurds in the north and any Sunnis that disagreed with his ways, and held his country together with an iron fist. Following the fall of Saddam, the Shia struck back against the minority Sunni for Saddam's oppression, who struck back at the Shia, who struck back at the Sunni, and the whole time the Kurdish north is wanting their independence from a mostly Arab south (less so in Iraq, however, as the primary Kurdish beef is with Turkey, where most Kurds live and where independence is most deeply sought).
This is the closest comment President Bush (then Governor) ever made refurring to Saddam Hussein re his father. War with Iraq Dubya had actually been planning to go after Saddam Hussein for years. As a matter of fact, almost two years before the Pentagon/WTC attacks, George gave an interview to the BBC in November 1999 which laid out his plans for his father's antagonist during the Gulf War: REPORTER: Would Saddam Hussein outlive a second President Bush? GOVERNOR BUSH: [Laughs] Very good question. Uh, I think the interesting thing -- [laughs] -- um, uh -- Saddam Hussein, uh -- really did last longer than anybody envisioned. He did. REPORTER: Including your father. GOVERNOR BUSH: Including my father, absolutely right. [...] No one envisioned Saddam, at least at that point in history, no one envisioned him still standing. It's time to finish the task.
What kind of government did Saddam Hussein establish in Iraq?
federal parliamentary representative democratic republic or some might say a religious dictatorship
What men was not involved in an attack on Iraq and its leader Saddam Hussein in the 1990s and 2000s?
Woodrow Wilson (A+)
Did Saddam Hussein have clones?
Answer 1
No. The technological and intellectual resources required for cloning would have been well beyond the means of any institutions in Iraq to create.
He did not have clones.
He may have used a traditional body double, however, which is simply someone who looks a lot like him that is used to impersonate him when the need arises.
Answer 2
He had numerous such body doubles and was rumored to have used plastic surgery to make them appear almost identical to him, but they were never clones in the biological sense of the word.

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.
What two nations loaned money to finance Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War?
The nations that loaned money to finance Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war were China, Italy, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. It is also believed that the US loaned $5.5 billion dollars to Saddam Hussein who then bought weapons with it. Many other nations provided military arms to Iraq without providing money.

Was all the oil fields set on fire by Saddam Hussein now put out?
Saddam Hussein did not set very many oil fields on fire, except a few to keep them from falling into NATO hands. Indeed, that conflict was nineteen years ago, and all fires inflicted at the time have been since dealt with.
A massive oil spill where Iraq dumped 400 million gallons of crude oil into the Persian Gulf has also been dealt with.
Terrorist Osama bin Laden was killed on Sunday, May 1, 2011 (in Pakistani time, the killing happened around 2 a.m. on Monday, May 2, 2011).
Osama was killed by US troops on the ground in a 40-minute firefight commanded by President Obama. He was killed by a group of Navy SEALs (part of the Joint Special Operations Command - JSOC) and four men, including Osama, died in the attack. A woman, presumed to be one of Osama's wives, as also killed. No American was wounded or killed.
Osama was shot at least once in the head. He was later buried at in the North Arabian sea. President Obama ordered the attack after receiving intelligence of bin Laden's location in a compound in Pakistan. The US first received this intelligence in August 2010. Bin Laden was the mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and has been in hiding for nearly a decade.
