Saddam Hussein was the fifth President of Iraq, holding the office from 1979 until 2003. During his presidency, Saddam oversaw the Iraqi secret police, which was responsible for torturing and executing political opponents. The Iraqi secret police was created in 1979, shortly after Saddam came to power.<\/p>\n

No, Saddam Hussein did not create the Iraqi secret police. The Iraqi secret police has been in existence since the 1920s.<\/p>\n

What good things did Saddam Hussein do? <\/h2>\n

Saddam Hussein’s national infrastructure campaign made significant progress in developing Iraq’s roads, mining industry, and other key industries. The campaign helped improve Iraq’s energy production and distribution, bringing electricity to nearly every city in the country. The infrastructure campaign was a key part of Saddam’s development strategy for Iraq, and helped the country make significant strides in economic development.<\/p>\n

It is true that Iraq was safer and much wealthier before any American intervention. American support for Saddam and later their war and sanctions on him made Iraq such a terrible place to live. It is not surprising that Iraqis had grown sick of their way of life.<\/p>\n

Did the US ever support Saddam Hussein <\/h3>\n
