Saddam Hussein

The simple answer would be not to have attempted an invasion of Iran in September of 1980. This resulted in a costly war between the two, which lasted for eight years, cost both countries vast amounts of money and resources, and left the Iraqi military reeling from losses which it was a long way from recovering from in 1990.

This would also have alleviated the reason Saddam launched an invasion of Kuwait, which in turn could've prevented both the Persian Gulf war and the ongoing war in Iraq.

Bush's idea was to stop Saddam.

yes Saddam did have a double he was shot and killed. Saddam showed up a year later and was tortured and executed

2003

It is not because Iraq is in chaos even though Saddam Hussein has been killed.

No. Saddam Hussein was Sunni, which did not endear him to the Shiites in Iraq or to the Shiite leadership in Iran. However, there were a large number of Shiites in the Iraqi Army under Saddam Hussein who gave their lives in loyalty to their country (even against Iran).

No, he was a dictator inIraqThis murderer used chemical weapons to remove Kurds in northern Iraq andapproximately, 5,000 women, men and children died.

Mostly, in the ground. Saddam and his two sons Uday and Qusay have been killed and buried.

I think for 36 years!

Saddam Hussein officially identified as a Secularist of the Ba'athist Movement. The Ba'ath stood for Western-Style Separation of "Mosque and State", freedom of expression and assembly, and for national unity. Of course, Saddam Hussein did not permit many of the freedoms upon which the Ba'athist Party was originally formed. During his regime, he implemented a much more typically Fascist governing style, supporting private industry, quashing minority groups and dissenters, and waging wars of expansion.

He was member of Ba'ath party and claimed to be Sunni Muslim. He started several wars that killed about one million innocent people, but at least he was not Shiite.

It is worth noting that Saddam Hussein was not religious and advocated a purely secular form of government, repressing those who had any serious form of religious expression (even "fellow" Sunnis).

Saddam Hussein, who was tried by an Iraqi court, and then executed by hanging.

Saddam Hussein got kick out of Iraq keeping a war going and that he was mistreating the people of 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.

No. His full name is Barack Hussein Obama, II.

Yes. He managed all aspects of his government and his people's lives.

They believed he would attack Saudi Arabia and eventually control the worlds oil supply.

Even though there was little concern about Kuwait itself - when one corrupt dictatorship takes over another corrupt dictatorship, little has been lost - the concern was that if Saddam can take over Kuwait and get away with it, what other countries would he try to take over next? How far did his ambitions extend? It is worth noting that at the time, Saddam said that the reason why he invaded Kuwait was to liberate Palestine, which means that he was building an empire with which eventually to attack Israel, and that would have been a much more destructive conflict. And even that would not necessarily have been the end of his conquests. Today Kuwait, tomorrow the world!
