I visited Iraq several times and could see some of the things that are shown is this documentary with my own eyes. My first visit was in 1969, just one year after the Baathist revolution of 1968. My impression was than that the people of Iraq thought that it was one of the many revolutions and that a new one would follow. Than I came back in 1971 and saw things went good through the efforts of the Baath to modernize the country. By than I noticed already a great support for Saddam who was leading the progress. I returned in 1989 and 1990 ans saw the change into a police state, with lack on several goods. I remember to buy bananas you had to cross wbole Baghdad. But Iraq was undoubtly a safe place. I returned last year and saw a population that for the first time in decades was hoping for a better future, although there has to be done a lot on infrastructure and education. My love for this country always will remain. In april I will return to visit all my friends again.

We used to roll past the cemetery in Tikrit where Saddam's family was buried on a regular basis, and our interpreter pointed out their crypts; although I have no idea if he was telling the truth. It seemed like everything around there belonged to/was related to Saddam, one way or another. Also between Samarra & Tikrit was an ancient Sumarian ruin that Saddam had ordered excavated early in his reign, but it was never finished because of the wars. Just being there is one of the most memorable experiences of my life; that area has so much history, I found it difficult to concentrate on the job sometimes (especially in the date palm plantations along the Tigris). When Saddam was found, we were only a few km away, on cordon duty while another building/compound was being searched for him. I remember hearing about it on the net, and everybody got very nervous because they were worried Saddam loyalists would try to retaliate. Nothing else happened for us that day, though.

[@touringthecitywalking9209]

Over the past decade, numerous Shia religious leaders and other individuals have lamented Saddam's demise, recalling what they perceive as Iraq's better days under his rule. Check videos about this on KZbin. Many Iraqis have come to acknowledge their earlier misjudgment in expecting positive changes from the Americans and the British, as their presence has seemingly resulted in continual destruction, accompanied by unfaithful and corrupt Iraqi leadership from then until now. This pattern suggests that wherever Americans or Western powers intervene, the aftermath tends to be marked by increased hardship and impoverishment for the affected nation. A current example is the situation unfolding in Gaza.

[@imnackeredsirnackered948]

there is way more than just "whatever America touches goes to hell". I think what we have learned from the middle east is that Arabs useless and are too tribal/sectarian to unite and the only way to rule the Arabs is through sheer violence and terror like Saddam did. America intervened in Korea and south Korea today is a great economic power. America intervened in Taiwan and Taiwan is a very rich and prosperous nation. America intervened in Vietnam and even though they lost Vietnam today is a rapidly growing economic power. America had dominated over Germany for decades and today still has military bases and yet today its a major world economic power. America crushed Japan, nuked it and today Japan is a world economic power. I think Iraq and Arab countries were already divided and had people ready to tear each other apart however they were ruled by strongmen willing to annihilate anyone who dares stands up to them. That says more about the Arabs then the Americans.

[@sunkings5972]

​@imnackeredsirnackered948 wow that's a rather extreme position. If you noticed when borders are arbitrary drawn by people that do not understand the cultures conflict is inevitable. Europe was at constant never ending conflict while most of the middle east was prosperous and relatively stable. Conflict follows geographic cycles and poverty breeds radicalism. Hell we see Christian fundamentalist American public figures and policies today and its getting worse with the fundamentalists openly talking about Civil War being inevitable. Humans are predisposed for conflict given certain circumstances, people in the middle east are no more or less so than anyone else, their situation at this brief time in history is just different than the west. 😊

[@imnackeredsirnackered948]

@@sunkings5972 I agree with you. Infact some of the world's worst wars have been in Europe and Europeans have been in a never-ending state of war with each other. However, My argument is that the middle east is also very divided either among sectarian lines, ethnic lines or tribal lines. I remember a few years back two shia tribal groups clashed in iraq over tribal issues. My point is that even if America never touched Iraq the country would still be divided, and tensions would still run high. America went in thinking they can force these people to get a long but you cant force a people that distrust, dislike and hate each other. And European border's Don't really mean anything since one province will have a shia majority, another a christian majority, another a sunni majority and its dotted around each other. Even during the "islamic golden age" there were still wars, violence and conflict and you cant blame the west if two arab lads decided to wake up one day and hate each other.

Perhaps, but he invaded Kuwait, built statues to himself, and instigated a genocide... or two. Plus, I'm not sure the middle east was so much "better" in the 70s and 80s, its just technology has allowed us to see much more of the devastation. That said US intelligence agencies were complete trash in the 70s-00s. Perhaps a bit better now but it's critical for Americans to support moderate, informed, and compassionate leaders instead of hard line ideologues that talk about how evil everyone they don't like are.

Sadamm Hussein was a cruel beast, a terrible Tyrant . Brutal or not, he was able to keep the deep religious and ethnic factions under control. With the appropriate Intrrnational pressures, in order to survive he could have become an element of stability in the region. As he had done before, namely while containing the different religious and Political factions at bay. Gone the repressive apparatus, the entire country fell appart -- bombs and killings promoted by rival factions occurred every day. Reinforcing Iran's position as a major regional force and setting the stage for total chaos in the Middle East. American Tax Payers spent billions in Iraq, tens of thousands -- perhaps hundreds of thousands -- elements of the Population were killed in that hell. Not to mention thousands of American casualties, dead and wounded . The Second Iraq War opened the gates for the creation of a plethora of terrorist Groups --- namely, Hammas in Gaza heavely supported by Iran. In my view, the 2003 War and its aftermath were terrible for the local Populations, for the West and World Peace.

It was a good lesson to learn, that you cant force freedom and democracy on a people. Perhaps it has to come organically, from the citizens, for democracy to be possible.

[@Tamujin]

fun fact: there is a fishing village in Kerela, India called Saddam Beach in an act of solidarity during the 1991 Gulf War. The beach name was suggested by Indian maids working in the gulf, especially Kuwait. bc Kuwait treated their workers really bad

[@mapk1516]

That's interesting I thought it was because Saddam's Iraq and India just had good relations. Saddam wanted to help Baloch separatists in Pakistan too.

When I was in Iraq, the local Shi'a Muslims cursed the day Saddam was born.

This person's voice is very similar to the voice which narrates another series called Battlefield

Bro, NOT WALTER HUSSEIN IN THE THUMBNAIL💀

So where are those weapons of mass destruction?

[@insuchaway]

[@moondancer4660]

I know this is in my language but I am going to have to watch it a couple more times because I don't understand about the politics of it etcetera

[@jaybelle1909]

There is no political agenda or bias in this doc; it's just a brief overview of Sadams life and his rule... long story short, he was sadistic and was the root cause of Iraqs problems, though for a brief moment, he helped build Iraq to its height till his choices messed it all up...

[@user-td2jw9ze2c]

He looked like Stalin's long lost son

[@survived4679]

he looks better than stalin

[@sarahbroom9577]

Yes, because Saddam modelled himself on Stalin. From his looks, to his dress and execution of power... Stalin was one of Saddam's idols.

[@toomeyeh1]

Lmao this british gentlesir really committed to the "ahhk" and "-aath" sounds found in many of the key players in the video 😂 i respect the dedication 🙇

[@ateallthemonsters2302]

Can someone share information on the international assassinations mentioned like in Sweden?

[@scorpioneddie6833]

Saddam's intelligence was ranked one of the best in the world, according to America's testimony. In this way, his intelligence was carrying out operations to eliminate those who opposed him in the world, until it was said that Saddam was ruling the world by helping many countries and buying their votes. France was a friend of Saddam, as were Russia and China.

[@johnzeszut3170]

This fellow was nothing to write home about for sure - while he was on top of the heap he was a power check for this region...

[@Annastasia2000]

The history of Saddam that I know is more interesting, and I am Iraqi 😔

[@himanshuatendermalik3295]

As an Indian Hindu, he is much respected amongst us. I remember we putting up posters for him in our schools as greatest hero. I myself documented second Iraq war untill death of Saddam Hussein during my school times. All articles published in Hindi daily during that war I have it. And yes those Hindi newspaper praised Saddam like their own hero. He could have been great leader.

@@Cypher791since this is a biography about IRAQI ruler and the people of the IRAQi whom have suffered many atrocities by foreign and local threats. I would assume he meant the IRAQi people. Are you stupid should be the real question.

I think he means the minorities. Like Shia's and Kurds but also for the sunn's who got killed for a slight mistake

[@bayazidzaman5664]

Once Saddam Hossain said, " Iraqi people will sleep peacefully until I am awaken. When I would sleep , Iraqi people would not sleep peacefully ". This comment came true after the death of Saddam Hossain. After his death the whole Iraq was destroyed.

[@alexeygrankin8203]

That is likely real good channel to be watching every time. About Iraq 'a political life I know it not much,. 🆗️ how about Faisal II, the last King of Iraq, who was assassinated? Well, keep doing Your best job!! Thank You very much for Your wonderful project!!
