Saddam did a great deal of good for his country and his people. That doesn't mean he was good himself, and it doesn't mean he wasn't a dictator.



I lived in Iraq from 1981 to 1986. During that time, under his leadership, many new highways were built; the whole country had new clean water supplies. He encouraged women to stop wearing the traditional black outfit, guaranteed 10% of management jobs in government for women, provided child-minding facilities in all government offices to encourage women to go to work. He provided free health care for all, and free attendance at University - though if you earned a degree, you then had to work for the government for three years after that.



He liberalized the country and improved the quality of life for most citizens.



He did not do well governing the south (Basra) or the north (the Kurdish region) so he was certainly no hero.

Former President Saddam Hossain did a little well for his countrywhich can be described by the following thoughts

The news of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's early morning hanging in a northern Baghdad suburb has now reverberated around the globe. People the world over have weighed in on his execution, some calling it a just punishment. Others question whether his death will ease any violence in the war-torn country, In the Tri-Cities and all across America, residents awoke to media images of a lifeless Saddam in a body bag. Local reactions to his execution -- ordered by an Iraqi judge and upheld by an Iraqi appeals court -- are spread out.



To me Saddam Hussain in his long life as an emperror took so many autocratic dicisions.He & his family members has not ruled his kingdom well,which is the 1st thing to done as a father of the nation. in his long reign as an emperror he rudely behaved with his citizens & made them like a slave. He ruled his country by sitting on a billion dollar chair where his own men are struggling for a bread. He also murdered many of his citizens who donot want or protested his such type of activities. Not only he, but his family members were all of this type.He & his fanily members has not left girls & beautiful women of that country.

If we look past history of such type of brutality of any emperor history had not left them. Some were brutally killed by their own sons or men of other country.

but still we have to think about the common mass of the worldover.

The graphic public dissemination of Saddam's killing to every home via the Internet and satellite TV not only was incongruent with the general mood and spirit of masses all over the world. It was a very much disgraceful act to our humanity, and served only to radicalize many moderates angered by the act. Also The execution of Saddam Hussein has turned the former Iraqi dictator into a martyr & according to me the unofficial pictures that emerged of the event were revolting and barbaric & the problems plaguing Iraq have not been solved since Saddam was sentenced to death over the killings of 148 Shias in the 1980s. Aso Prime Minister Tony Blair refused to talk about Saddam's execution.



According to our Indian Philosophy Murder or killing of a an bad man can not change the brutality all over the world, but it would invite another aggression. SO KINDNESS & FORGIVENESS is yhe best way to correct this type of man. Forgiveness is the main theme of every religion.Murdering attracts another murder & there is no end.Only people's goodwill can change the mind of these people.

Saddam did many good things for his country.

First bad thing of Saddam is to start a war with Iran under the instruction of USA via feudal lords of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

sadam Hussain didnot know how decieved the usa jewish lobby was, he didnot understand their tricks. Saddam started a war with Iran under the instruction of USA via feudal lords of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. big downfall of him. There was israel behind all this. he used to be USA friend for long time but when sadam rufuse to do things USA way , they killed him, didnot find anything in Iraq. It was all propoganda to weaken the israel 's enemy.. Now they after Iran and Pakistan lol ............they are cowards

( Jews) hidden behind Usa........face your enemy on your own feet not the USA lol. you make me laugh!



One words for Sadam....A Legend, May he rest in peace.

“Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood.”

Yes.



He maintained peace and good order by brutally murdering anyone who caused trouble.



As has been seen in Iraq, this is the only way to successfully govern an Islamic country.

no dictators can do good to the country he belongs to.. unless until he believes in strong ethics and have some good morals.. he used his power to play against the minorities of his country..and to work against america to get some cheap popularity among his fellow statesman..that's all according to my view...

Yup...Education in America is at an all-time low.

Both Socially and Morally.

No - he led for one sect in a multi-sect state. The Sunni minority benefited from his leadership, but the rest (Kurds especially) suffered.

Suddam Hussein was the epitomy of evil. He cut off innocent women and children's heads, severly punished his olympic teams with beatings if they did not perform to perfection, didn't pay his servants enough to live on and the list goes on.
