It is important to remember that regardless of one's upbringing or experiences, everyone deserves support and resources to heal from trauma and break the cycle of abuse. It is crucial for society to prioritize prevention and intervention programs to address issues of childhood abuse and trauma, and to provide resources for those who have been victims of such abuse. While Uday Hussein's story is a tragic and extreme case, it highlights the need for awareness and action to address the impact of childhood trauma on individuals and society as a whole. By supporting victims of abuse and working to create a safe and nurturing environment for all children, we can help prevent future generations from suffering the same fate as Uday Hussein.

Marrying your first cousin, same thing here apart of their culture but now we know that it comes with it's problems.

It is completely understandable to feel frustration and anger towards individuals who defend or overlook the brutal actions of authoritarian figures like Saddam Hussein. The atrocities committed by Hussein and his regime, including the suppression of dissent, widespread human rights abuses, and brutal crackdowns on opposition, are well-documented and undeniable. It is important for people to educate themselves about the history and actions of leaders like Saddam Hussein, rather than blindly defending or idealizing them without understanding the full extent of their abuses of power. By recognizing and acknowledging the brutal and oppressive nature of such regimes, we can work towards ensuring that such atrocities are never repeated and that justice is served for the victims and survivors of these regimes. Your frustration with those who defend Saddam Hussein without fully understanding the harm he caused is valid. It is crucial to continue to speak out against tyranny, injustice, and human rights abuses, and to hold accountable those who seek to gloss over or justify such heinous actions. Thank you for sharing your perspective and for standing up against the hypocrisy and lack of accountability for the crimes committed by oppressive leaders like Saddam Hussein.

He was reportedly a troubled and violent child, showing signs of aggression and cruelty from a young age.

Honestly his sons were far more evil and terrifying than Saddam himself was. They actually went out guns blazing unlike their father who surrendered despite preaching to never do so.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

The actions and behavior of Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay Hussein, were indeed known for their extreme brutality and ruthlessness. Uday, in particular, was notorious for his violent and erratic behavior, as well as his involvement in numerous human rights abuses and crimes during his time as a key figure in the Iraqi regime. The home videos and footage that have surfaced showing Uday and Qusay Hussein further highlight the disturbing and unhinged nature of these individuals. Their reckless and violent actions, as well as their willingness to use intimidation and violence to control those around them, exemplify the dangers posed by unchecked power and authority. It is true that Uday and Qusay Hussein's actions were more overtly violent and confrontational compared to their father, Saddam Hussein, who was known for his more calculated and strategic approach to maintaining power. However, all three were complicit in the oppressive and authoritarian rule of the Iraqi regime, and all played a role in the suffering and atrocities inflicted on the Iraqi people during their time in power. The legacy of Uday and Qusay Hussein serves as a stark reminder of the extreme dangers posed by individuals who wield power without restraint, empathy, or regard for human life. The atrocities committed by the Hussein regime, under the leadership of Saddam and his sons, have left a lasting impact on Iraq and its people. Thank you for highlighting the terrifying and unhinged nature of Uday and Qusay Hussein, and for emphasizing the brutal legacy they left behind as key figures in the Iraqi regime.

The act of throwing his supposed best friend out of a flying airplane, as a cruel joke or demonstration of power, is a chilling reminder of the depths of depravity to which he would stoop. Such actions, driven by a lack of empathy and a disregard for human life, are indicative of the brutal and sadistic nature of Uday Hussein. The willingness to inflict harm and suffering on others, even those who were considered close associates, highlights the ruthless and dehumanizing mindset of individuals like him. It is truly disturbing to consider the sheer brutality and lack of conscience that could lead someone to commit such a heinous act. The disregard for the value of human life and the willingness to inflict suffering for personal gratification or amusement are traits that are truly abhorrent. The tragic fate of his friend serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the devastating consequences of cruelty and inhumanity. It is important to remember the victims of such atrocities and to strive for a world where compassion, empathy, and respect for human dignity prevail over violence and oppression.

i was thinking 'damn, this sounds exactly like the dictators son in 'The Devil's Double'.' i thought that movie was fictional, i had no idea it was actually based on Uday Saddam

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

"The Devil's Double" is indeed based on the true story of Uday Hussein, the eldest son of Saddam Hussein. Uday was known for his violent and erratic behavior, as well as his lavish lifestyle and brutal treatment of those around him. The movie portrays the life of Uday through the eyes of Latif Yahia, an Iraqi man who was forced to become Uday's body double. It is not uncommon for movies to be based on real-life events and figures, and in the case of "The Devil's Double," the filmmakers took inspiration from the experiences of Latif Yahia and his time as Uday's doppelganger. The movie sheds light on the extreme brutality and excesses of Uday Hussein, offering a glimpse into the dark and oppressive world of the Hussein regime. It is understandable that you may have initially thought the movie was purely fictional, given the extreme and often unbelievable nature of the events depicted in the film. However, the reality of Uday Hussein's behavior and actions during his time as a key figure in the Iraqi regime are unfortunately all too real. "The Devil's Double" serves as a chilling reminder of the brutality and corruption that existed within the Hussein regime, and the impact that such power and unchecked authority can have on individuals and society as a whole.

It is clear that these experiences have left a significant mark on you, and I hope that sharing your memories can help in processing and reflecting on the complexities and challenges of serving in a conflict zone.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

It is indeed a tragic reality that the world can be a place of great wickedness and suffering, and the people of Iraq have certainly endured their fair share of turmoil and hardship throughout history. The Iraqi people have faced decades of conflict, oppression, and instability, particularly under the brutal rule of dictators like Saddam Hussein and his sons. Despite the challenges they have faced, the resilience and strength of the Iraqi people are truly remarkable. Their desire for freedom, peace, and a better future is a testament to their courage and determination in the face of adversity. It is our hope as well that one day Iraq will be able to overcome the legacy of conflict and tyranny, and that its citizens will be able to live in a society that upholds the values of democracy, human rights, and freedom. Rebuilding a country that has been ravaged by war and oppression is a monumental task, but with the support and solidarity of the international community, as well as the efforts of the Iraqi people themselves, there is hope for a brighter future. By working together to promote reconciliation, justice, and democracy, we can help create a more peaceful and prosperous Iraq for future generations. Our thoughts and empathy go out to the Iraqi people who have endured so much suffering and loss, and we stand with them in their journey towards a more peaceful and free society. Thank you for expressing your compassion and hope for the people of Iraq.

[@wallstreetmemes8984]

As an Iraqi I want to say just stop lying!!! I was 13 years old when America invaded Iraq based on a lie which is obvious to everyone right now. Because of the war I had to flee my country 18 years ago and since then I am unable to go back because the situation is far worse than it was. Although some facts here are true like shaving hair, the other things are all lies, and this is confirmed by players mentioned in the video like Ahmed Radhi who said that there were many exaggerations and the only punishment I had was shaving hair. The psychopath is not Uday but George Bush who killed over than 2 million people and displaced much more. Fun fact that you'll never hear in your media, do you know at the time of Saddam Hussein there were 1.5 million Christian living in Iraq peacefully and 500,000 other minorities? Now thanks to the democracy the christians in Iraq are barely 200,000 and most of the minorities are displaced. The only reason why Saddam was demonized by American media was because he refused the American military presence in the middle east.

[@catsnchords]

It's more complicated than that. I don't think the USA/Britain should've invaded, as it's caused serious geo-strategic issues with migrant crisis and Iran, but you're looking at pre-invasion Iraq with rose colored glasses. Read accounts like the Devil's Double by Uday's personal stunt double and The Insider by the Hussein's family doctor. Iraq under Saddam was a nation literally run by Iraqi mafia gangster human excrement. Hussein family alienated Iraq and brought the world's wrath upon themselves.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

This upbringing, combined with their own personal traumas, likely contributed to their psychopathic and violent tendencies. It is important to remember that even those who commit terrible acts may have deep-seated trauma and pain that drive their actions. This is not to excuse their behavior, but to understand the complex circumstances that can lead someone down a dark path. It serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing and preventing childhood trauma, as well as providing support for those who have experienced it in order to prevent further cycles of abuse and violence.

What’s sad is that Uday was such a stain on the Husseins, that we sometimes forget they did some good. This is not to defend them or suggest they’re liberal/good by any means, but women’s rights have gotten worse in Iraq since Saddam was deposed. The use of the veil has become more common, and under the Ba’ath (Saddam’s) Party, equal rights were entered into Iraq’s constitution. Now they’re 146th out of 164 on the Gender Inequality Index. Totalitarianism is common for the region - absolute monarchies and theocracies on their borders - and a more secular one could be suggested to be better for the region. That all said, this does not excuse any of what the Husseins did.

Why would someone just lie about saddam 😂😂😂

[@L_back]

Saddam should’ve let the UN inspect if there are - in fact - no WMD’s. That term doesn’t just encompass nukes, it also means chemical weapons, which Saddam and his cabinet used against their own people, Kuwait and Iran. It was incredibly naive back in 2003 to assume that fella didn’t have such weapons. I can now see where his son gets his characteristics from!

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

The decision to invade Iraq in 2003 was heavily influenced by the belief that Saddam Hussein's regime possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), including chemical and biological weapons. The Iraq War was justified, in part, on the basis of the perceived threat posed by Saddam's alleged possession of WMDs and the need to prevent their potential use or transfer to terrorist groups. Saddam Hussein's past record of using chemical weapons, most notably during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s and against Kurdish civilians in the town of Halabja in 1988, contributed to concerns about his regime's possession and potential use of WMDs. These actions underscored the brutal and repressive nature of Saddam's rule and the willingness of his regime to deploy chemical weapons against civilians and perceived enemies. The United Nations Security Council did pass Resolution 1441 in 2002, which called for Iraq to comply with disarmament obligations and allow for the return of weapons inspectors from the UN Monitoring, Verification, and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to verify Iraq's compliance with disarmament requirements. However, despite some cooperation from the Iraqi government, there were continuing concerns about the completeness and accuracy of Iraq's declarations regarding its WMD programs. Ultimately, the failure to find conclusive evidence of WMDs in Iraq following the invasion of the country led to significant controversy and criticism of the decision to go to war. The absence of WMDs in Iraq underscored the need for more rigorous assessment and verification of intelligence claims before undertaking military action. The repercussions of the Iraq War, including the destabilization of the region, loss of lives, and enduring political and social consequences, highlight the importance of informed decision-making and accountability in matters of international security and conflict. It serves as a cautionary tale about the complexities and risks of military intervention and the imperative of upholding international norms and legal frameworks in addressing threats to peace and security.

Oh, Saddam and the Americans... now that's a recipe for a comedy disaster! I mean, Saddam was definitely no angel, but at least he had the decency to keep Iraq intact, right? I can just imagine him thinking, "I may be a ruthless dictator, but hey, at least I'm keeping the place together. Go me!" But then the Americans come along like, "Hey, who needs stability and sovereignty when you can have freedom and democracy... whether you like it or not!" It's like they watched a few too many action movies and thought, "We'll just swoop in, topple a dictator, and everyone will be throwing ticker tape parades in our honor. Mission accomplished!" And let's not forget about the whole WMD debacle... I mean, talk about a wild goose chase! It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but instead of a needle, it's a nuclear weapon and the haystack is an entire country. "Oops, our bad! But hey, at least we got rid of that pesky dictator, right?" Now Iraq is left in shambles, caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. People are just trying to survive, wondering if tomorrow will bring peace or more chaos. But hey, at least they've got some great stories to tell future generations, right? "Oh, you think you have problems? Let me tell you about the time a dictator got overthrown and everything went downhill from there. Good times, good times." So, let's raise a toast to Iraq, a country that has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but still manages to keep on going. And to Saddam and the Americans... may they both serve as cautionary tales for future generations.

Wow, colonialism and Iraq... now there's a comedy goldmine!

Can you imagine the Queen sipping tea in Baghdad? "Oh lovely, dear, those sandstorms really do wonders for the complexion!" But hey, colonialism wasn't all tea and crumpets, am I right? I mean, the British did introduce cricket to India, and now they can't stop winning at it. It's like the revenge of the colonized! And don't even get me started on the cuisine... I mean, tikka masala is basically the national dish of Britain at this point. And let's not forget about those borders they drew up in the Middle East like they were playing a game of Risk. "Oh, let's just stick a ruler here and there, ignore the tribal rivalries, what could go wrong?" But hey, at least they left behind some lovely legacy of conflict and instability for generations to come. But in all seriousness, we can't change the past, but we can certainly learn from it. And if there's one thing we've learned, it's that colonialism might have given us some great punchlines, but it sure doesn't solve anything. So let's raise a cup of tea to moving forward and building a world where borders are respected and tea is enjoyed, no matter who's in charge. Am I right, folks? Let's give it up for colonialism, the gift that keeps on giving... for better or for worse! Thank you, goodnight!
