In the early 1990s, the United States helped engineer the election of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. This was done in order to ensure that Iraq would remain a stability in the Middle East, and to prevent the spread of Iranian influence in the region. The US also saw Saddam as a potential bulwark against Islamic fundamentalism.<\/p>\n

The US did not play a direct role in Saddam Hussein’s election, as Iraq is a sovereign nation. However, the US did support him during his time in power. This support includes economic assistance, military cooperation, and diplomatic backing.<\/p>\n

How did America get Saddam Hussein? <\/h2>\n

Saddam Hussein, the deposed president of Iraq, was captured by the United States military forces in the town of Ad-Dawr, Iraq on 13 December 2003. Codenamed Operation Red Dawn, this military operation was named after the 1984 American film Red Dawn.<\/p>\n

The referendum took place amid international criticism of Hussein’s human rights record. The United Nations had imposed economic sanctions on Iraq in 1990, following its invasion of Kuwait. These sanctions remained in place until 2003, when they were lifted after the US-led invasion of Iraq.<\/p>\n
