Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq from 1979 to 2003. During his reign he projected an image of himself as Iraq’s most influential leader and a courageous modernizer, but at the same time his repressive regime killed thousands of people. Saddam was overthrown in April 2003 following the US invasion of Iraq and executed for crimes against humanity in 2006. But more than a decade after his death, Saddam’s legacy remains a divisive issue. The instability in Iraq, caused in part by the war, means that some Iraqis yearn to be safe from a tyrannical regime, while others cannot forget the extreme brutality it has unleashed on the Iraqi people.

It’s hard to believe, but there was a time when Saddam Hussein was popular with a lot of people in Iraq.

Hussein began spending millions of dollars on infrastructure and education. He nationalized Iraq’s oil production, which did not please many people outside the country, but gained himself and his country immense wealth. Hussein’s vision for Iraq was of a secular Arab republic which included Syria, with whom he was allied for a time, and to achieve his goals, he was willing to do anything – spend money – and kill or punish millions of people.
