July 16, 1979: Takes over as president of Iraq from his cousin Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr; launches purge of Baath.

July 8, 1982: Survives assassination attempt in Dujail, a mainly Shiite Muslim town 25 miles north of Baghdad. In retaliation, Saddam's security forces attack the town. (The events in Dujail were the subject of the criminal charges in Saddam's initial trial.)
March 28, 1988: Uses chemical weapons against Kurdish town of Halabja, killing an estimated 5,000 civilians.
Aug. 2, 1990: Invades Kuwait, leading to war with U.S.-led coalition that liberates Kuwait the following February.

He is guilty of the same thing george w. bush, donald rumsfeld, and condoleza rice (and all of their supporters) are guilty of, only on a MUCH smaller scale.
They will hang Saddam tonight for causing the deaths of 148 people in retaliation for an assassination attempt on him a long time ago.
The invasion of Iraq, on the other hand, has caused the deaths of many hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens and many thousands of soldiers on all sides participating in this insanity.
And all of this was based on lies in the first place. There never were any WMD's that bush claimed there were, and never a connection to the terrorists like he also claimed.
Saddam's real crime?
He thumbed his nose at bush's daddy in the first gulf war.
And his country has a lot of oil, which is the real reason bush invaded in the first place.

Yup. Iraq's ethnic and spiritual divisions, alongside with the ensuing postwar devastation, laid the muse for sparkling rebellions interior the country. interior the aftermath of the combating, social and ethnic unrest between Shi'a Muslims, Kurds, and dissident armed forces contraptions threatened the steadiness of Saddam's government. Uprisings began interior the Kurdish north and Shi'a southern and significant areas of Iraq, yet have been ruthlessly repressed. In 2005 the BBC pronounced that as many as 30,000 persons have been killed for the period of the 1991 uprisings. Saddam used unlawful chemical weapons to kill Kurd civiliams additionally.

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, the government could care less about his "horrible crimes". Our government installed him in power and trained his republican guard, if they had wanted to put an end to his brutality against his own people they would have done so sooner, they just needed a scapegoat , and our old friend Saddam was just the ticket, arab,muslim, yep fits the bill pretty good. Go ahead and thumbs down me assholes, but if you think the Government of the United States of America aren't just as guilty of Murder as any other government in the world, you're living in a dream world, and The Almighty American Government DID install him in power and train his republican guard in addition to giving him money, small-arms weapons and ammunition, they probably even gave him the gas he used on his own people, it is a historical FACT and if you don't believe me I encourage you to look it up.

Oh, nothing much, just murder and intentional genocide on a certain group of people that did nothing to him except live.

He killed his own people, him and his sons had torture chambers where they malicously punished little crimes, for example, when Olympic athletes would lose, they would torture them. He is basically Hitler of the Arab world.

Only crimes America have surpassed. He may have been a brutal leader in AMERICAS eyes but his people were fed , had work, money and electric power , now they barely survive.
USA have Death Row , Hanging , Injection and Electric chair..Racism the list goes on . Now the Iraqies have nothing and its only going to get worse.
