Saddam was a very evil person,he killed thousands of men women and children without any remorse.One most note that he mainly killed Muslims and not westerners and other people.His aim was to have full control on Iraq.There is nothing like a Muslim extreamist or fundmentalist these people are not Muslims but rather evil people calling themsleve Musilms and doing these evile acts. The only thing that real Muslims are extream about are the following Extreamely- Kind Honest Forgiving Hard working God Fearing Etc. The list goes on so people who thinks that Muslims are bad please do your research Muslims are not otherwise it would have not been the fastest growing religion in the world right now.
What are the bad things that Saddam Hussein did?
Saddam Hussein used the traditional tools of military leaders, including coercion, torture, repression, and assassination as he moved up in the leadership of the Ba'athist Party and in the government of Iraq.
The crimes for which he was executed were war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. These included the murders of Kuwaitis during the first Gulf War (1991), of Iraqi Kurds during the Anfal campaign (1988), and of suspects in a plot against him in 1982.
Saddam Husein was in power from 1979 to 2003 he was in power for 24 years.
It is worth noting, though that while he was not officially in power until 1979, he was the true leader of Iraq (in place of the ailing President Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr) as early as 1973, effectively making him the ruler of Iraq for 30 years even though he only held the title for 24.
Why did Saddam Hussein want to draw Israel into the war?
To unite the Arabs (to his side) & turn the campaign into a "Holy War."
Sadam was a student (secretary of a political party) during the 1960s and thus quite a bit out of Ho Chi Minh's league during that time in history.
Secondly, for some reason, Asians in Eastern & Southeast Asia (Korean War and Vietnam War) fight determined wars: victory or death. Wars fought in SouthWEST Asia seemed to do a lot of surrendering without accomplishing very much (Half a dozen Israeli-Arab wars from 1948 thru 1973; Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988, Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, No Fly Zones, etc. etc. etc. and no conquered nations in ANY OF THEM! All fought to a draw or quickly ended with near "Gentlemen Agreements"). Thus it seems in keeping with the the SouthWEST Asian's personality (or traditions) to attempt to "strike up a deal" (Seeking Friendly Relations). Possibly a deal maker like Saddam could have tried such a thing in the 80s/90s but certainly not a determined man like Ho Chi Minh.

What happens if us never caught Saddam Hussein?
If the U.S. had never caught Saddam Hussein, it is likely that he would have continued to exert influence in the region, potentially leading to ongoing instability in Iraq and the broader Middle East. His absence from capture might have fueled persistent insurgency against U.S. forces, complicating post-war reconstruction efforts. Additionally, his survival could have revived his regime's loyalists, possibly resulting in a more fragmented Iraq and prolonged conflict. Ultimately, the dynamics of U.S. foreign policy and regional relationships could have shifted significantly.
