Saddam Hussein had a bad childhood. His father left when he was little and his step-father was abusive and made him steal things. He was the dictator of Iraq from 1979-2003. In 2003, the United States took power from him. He was the dictator when Iraq and Iran were at war and when the army invaded Kuwait. When they invaded Kuwait, almost 100,000 troops died. In 1958, Hussein shot a supporter of the ruler Abdul-Karim Qassim. He used poisonous gases on people from both Iraq and Iran when the two countries were at war. When the U.S. invaded Iraq, they captured Saddam on December 14, 2003 and they kept him until June 28, 2004. In 2005, he had to go to trail in Iraq for killing more than 140 men in Dujail in 1982 and in 2006, he died because he was hung.
I think it's a good thing that Saddam Hussein is dead because he was crazy and mean. The stuff he did was dangerous and I would be mad if that happened to me.
