Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (Arabic: صداÙ
ØسÙ٠عبد اÙÙ
جÙد اÙتÙرÙت٠ṢaddÄm Ḥussayn Ê¿Abd al-MajÄ«d al-TikrÄ«tÄ«[1]; April 28, 1937[2] – December 30, 2006[3]), was the President of Iraq from July 16, 1979, until April 9, 2003.[4] [5]
As vice president under his cousin, General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, Saddam tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces by creating repressive security forces and cementing his own authority over the apparatus of government.
As president and head of the Baath Party, Saddam espoused secular pan-Arabism, economic modernization, and Arab socialism. Meanwhile, he consolidated one-party rule and maintained power through the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988) and the Gulf War (1991). Saddam repressed movements he deemed threatening to the stability of his rule, particularly those of ethnic or religious groups that sought independence or autonomy, such as Iraq's Shi'a Muslim, Kurdish and Turkmen populations.
Saddam's government collapsed as a result of the 2003 invasion of Iraq by an international coalition led by the United States, and he was captured by American forces on December 13, 2003. On November 5, 2006, he was convicted of crimes against humanity by the Iraq Special Tribunal and was sentenced to death by hanging.[6]

Is it better to say who "was" saddam.
Saddam was the presendent of Iraq for "35" years and imagine if there is something like that in the whole world, and what he did to keep his position for this long period.
The rest is for you.
