Just don't forget that we put him there in the first place. Perhaps it's time we stopped meddling with other countries and peoples' lives in order to further our own interests, yes?
How did we put him there???? He assended to the top on his own(by murdering all those opposing him). . . we supported him against the Ayatollah if thats what you mean. Trust me, we could meddle a lot more(in geo-politics) than we do!!Marconius wrote:

At the age of thirty-one (31) he had acquired what could have been deemed the number two spot in the Baathist party. He would continue in the position for approximately the next ten years. During that time, he would continue to consolidate his power by appointing numerous family members to positions of authority in the Iraqi government. In his position of Deputy in Charge of Internal Security, he built an enormous security apparatus and had spies and informers everywhere in the circles of power in Iraq.Marconius wrote:

Must've missed that one, fadedsteve...Marco's last link wrote:
"It bordered on farce," a former senior U.S. intelligence official said. But Qasim, hiding on the floor of his car, escaped death, and Saddam, whose calf had been grazed by a fellow would-be assassin, escaped to Tikrit, thanks to CIA and Egyptian intelligence agents, several U.S. government officials said.
Saddam then crossed into Syria and was transferred by Egyptian intelligence agents to Beirut, according to Darwish and former senior CIA officials. While Saddam was in Beirut, the CIA paid for Saddam's apartment and put him through a brief training course, former CIA officials said. The agency then helped him get to Cairo, they said.
One former U.S. government official, who knew Saddam at the time, said that even then Saddam "was known as having no class. He was a thug -- a cutthroat."
In Cairo, Saddam was installed in an apartment in the upper class neighborhood of Dukki and spent his time playing dominos in the Indiana Café, watched over by CIA and Egyptian intelligence operatives, according to Darwish and former U.S. intelligence officials.
One former senior U.S. government official said: "In Cairo, I often went to Groppie Café at Emad Eldine Pasha Street, which was very posh, very upper class. Saddam would not have fit in there. The Indiana was your basic dive."
But during this time Saddam was making frequent visits to the American Embassy where CIA specialists such as Miles Copeland and CIA station chief Jim Eichelberger were in residence and knew Saddam, former U.S. intelligence officials said.

P.S. Didn't Hussein kill his first Victim at 16 with a Revolver? And it was one of his own family members...
And he didn't stop there, he worked like the gestapo did, and then grew worse from there...
Of course, he doesn't deserve to die...

Sure, let's stop our meddling and turn off the faucet pouring financial aid into other countries, tell them to figure it out on their own and spend it on ourselves instead. Then we can effectively arm our border patrol, build a real fence, and suddenly we'll be able to defend the border. Sound good? I thought so.Marconius wrote:

Did you know that in reality, the thumbs down meant "not to kill". And the thumbs up was the "kill him"....Fancy_Pollux wrote:

Actually it is unknown which meant which, or it was even a thumbs up or down at all, and not some other gesture. There is no historical evidence that this even occurred at all. It is merely Hollywood's interpretation. But for that post, the image was from the movie gladiator, and a thumbs-down meant death.DBBrinson1 wrote:
