@American_Communist22 @yogthos he can't hold a candle to Hitler IMHO
what? Are we talking about the man who was president and kept Iraq together and with some sort of future besides collapse and and american enslavement?
Look, the US fabricated its reasons for being there, but that doesn't make fucking Saddam a good guy, pull your head out of your ass.
Good guy, bad guy, what are we talking about? This is not a Marvel movie. Everything he did to stay in power, whether self serving or not, was ultimately in the interest of the people of Iraq, because we know what the alternative was...
You mean the one that committed semi regular massacres? That Saddam?
