Tell me about saddam b...

dude was hyper alpha, hyper psychopath. He would kill his enemies, or people who he thought might be a threat. He was fearless when he was executed, you can watch the video. He yelled at his executioners and showed no signs of fear. It's likely he was born a psychopath, incapable of fear or empathy as we regular people know it. A truly dangerous and evil person who cause massive human damage. But the scary thing is he was likely just born that way. And that there will always be people who are born that way and there is nothing to be done about it.

What was the death toll of everyone killed under him versus all the people killed in the post Saddam iraqi conflicts.
It makes me wonder, had stalin and the communist party been overthrown in russia before ww2 by an internal uprising would he have gotten the saddam treatment? People instantly threw him under the bus once he was out of power and could speak freely, stalin subjected the russian people to absolute hell before his death and the communist party stayed in power preventing the immediate vilification of the actions of the entire soviet union

This is a photo of Donald Rumsfeld, the U.S. Secretary of Defense in the Bush era (including our invasion of Iraq) yukking it up with Saddam Hussein. See, Hussein was a monster. But when he was OUR monster, everything was ok. Unfortunately for ol' Saddam, when the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) decided that the U.S. had to secure Iraq's oil for itself, Saddam's days became numbered.

The sick, sad irony? In the end, we didn't even gain control of Iraq's oil, partially because ISIS occupied most of the country's oilfields for several years.

the mistake wasn't getting rid of him it was maintaining a military presence while attempting to "democratize" the country

elaborate, if you were to have been incharge of handling what happens to the country right after saddam is deposed what would you have done?

Tough call.
There's a school of thought that he would have held things together with a lower body count and much less drama. Quiet ain't pretty though, and there's no guarantee he would have not done something even more stupid and fucked things up worse than they are now.
If the current Shia majority can hold things together and fend off Iranian control they have a shot at building a modern, functional nation-state.
But, whatever happens needs another sixty years or so to play out before we can see where things will end up.
Place your bets?

He was a great leader.
America regrets killing him as iraq is a bigger shit hole and he kept the taliban in check and now things are more dangerous than ever

nothin

Different user responding.
Nothing. If I had a real choice I would never have toppled him only because it wasn't worth the cost.
One ray of hope will be if the people of Iraq pay attention to what is happens in both Afghanistan and Ukraine. While Ukraine is far from perfect, the post war contrast between the two may make an impression. Maybe they'll want to join the twenty-first century instead of rehashing some caliphated pipe dreams.

Bush is a war criminal for his illegal occupation and deposing Saddam. Saddam was playing by the rules the UN placed in him, and while he was still a psychopath and despite, there was no legal reason for us to invade Iraq. Thousands dead for nothing, another example of Republicans acting above the law.

you are a faggot and a pussy. just sayin'

>nothing mind
Heh.

"is-ass" not "U S"

lol

no value in a post like this, if you have an argument then argue, otherwise you are a child

Removing dictators from the Middle East had trouble written all over it. I can’t believe the US displayed a complete lack of foresight !
