Saddam Hussein

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.

Until Operation Desert Storm (Jan-Feb 1991), the eight year war between Iran and Iraq was called the Persian Gulf War, and the US was also involved. Therefore, which Persian Gulf War are you referring to?

Saddam Hussein's political party was the Republican Party.

George W. Bush wanted to finish "Daddy's war" and look good to those pulling the strings behind the power in Washington.

There was no real reason to finish Saddam Hussein off, he was a strongman in the Middle East and the United States and other powers understood that style of leadership and as long as things remained "stable" in the Middle East all was good.

"W" did it by lying about the dangers which Saddam posed to stability, particularly about weapons of mass destruction (nukes). He lied to the people of the US and the world. We bought his lies and invaded.

This is not to say Saddam was a good guy, he wasn't, but there are a lot of leaders just like him in the Middle East and we can work with them because they keep things good enough for the United States to pursue their interests in the world.

Sorry for giving such a cynical answer, but it is the truth.

There areweapons in Iraq, but that doesn't technically mean they're there for the same reason. Their are many reasons why weapons are kept and owned by many people; including normal residents and those who come to visit the country and leave eventually. Some reasons why most people in Iraq have at least has one weapon:

1.To protect their families in case a stranger tries to attack or steal.

2.Reach out a helping hand if a dangerous crime occurs thought the neighborhood/community.

3.For a protector of the country's protection for himself as well for others.

4.A race/religious comparison in the country [including the government sometimes].

5.Murder of 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.

Macbeth is a fictional character and Hitler was a real person. Macbeth understands his crime and Hitler was unaware of his. Macbeth is urged to commit his crime by an overbearing, ambitious wife and Hitler was a sexless vegetarian whose megalomania was all his own.

Saddam Hussein was convicted of massacring innumerable Shiite victims in the atrocities at Dujail, one of the largest Shiite attacks in Modern Iraqi History.

other nations believed that Saddam Hussein had become a more responsible ruler.

The US put him into power.

The execution of Saddam Hussein took place on December 30, 2006 (the first day of Eid-al-Adha). Saddam was sentenced to death by hanging, after being found guilty and convicted of crimes against humanity by the Iraqi Special Tribunal for the murder of 148 Iraqi Shi'ite in the town of Dujail in 1982, in retaliation for an assassination attempt against him.[1]

Saddam Hussein was President of Iraq from July 16, 1979 until April 9, 2003, when he was deposed during the 2003 invasion by a U.S.-led allied coalition. After the capture of Saddam in ad-Dawr, near his hometown Tikrit, he was incarcerated at Camp Cropper. On November 5, 2006, he was sentenced to death by hanging.

On December 30, 2006, he was taken to the prison to be executed. The Iraqi government released an official videotape of his execution, showing him being led to the gallows, and ending after his head was in the hangman's noose. International public controversy arose when an unauthorized mobile phone recording of the hanging showed him falling through the trap door of the gallows. The unprofessional and undignified atmosphere of the execution drew criticism around the world from nations that both oppose and support capital punishment. On December 31, 2006, Saddam Hussein's body was returned to his birthplace of Al-Awja, near Tikrit, and was buried near the graves of other family members. Saddam's body was never shown.

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.

He became a hunted man living in a hole and eventually hung by the Iraqis.

Saddam Hussein was captured on December 13, 2003. He was found hiding in a small underground hideout near Tikrit, Iraq, by U.S. forces. His capture marked a significant moment in the Iraq War and the broader efforts to stabilize the country following the invasion.

He was the leader of Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988); Operation Desert Storm (Jan/Feb '91); and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003- ).

Saddam Hussein ordered the executing of more than 300,000 Shia Muslims in 1991 alone.

Because he was the 5th President of Iraq. Andhe was apart of the Ba'th Party.

No.

It was Iraq which had Saddam Hussein as dictator.

Saddam lost his power when he started killing a lot of his own people and killing his own family members
