Answer 3

Saddam Hussein
--------------------------
To destroy this guy’s mystique requires more than the destruction of statues, or even of a regime. Unless Saddam is found either identifiably dead, or, better, alive and in chains, many Iraqis say his spirit will continue to haunt them. In confident moments, some of Saddam’s Westernized subjects even suggest that the Tyrant of the Tigris will become the Elvis of the Middle East, sighted at odd hours in weird places, inspiring a supernatural shock and awe. But in moments of grim foreboding, and only half in jest, Iraqis talk about Saddam as the Mahdi, the messiah who will return near the end of creation. “If he survives this,” says an Iraqi woman working with the interim regime, “I tell you everyone will believe it.”

Answer 4

Saddam Hussein, the fearsome tyrant of the Tigris who murdered thousands of his own people and countless others.


The name, however, originally referred to Nimrod of "The Tower of Babel" fame.

Believing in his own invincibility and still paranoid over the fact that God in heaven had unfairly brought destruction on the world of his antediluvian ancestors, Nimrod declared himself ruler of the world, King of Shinar, and set about building an immense tower from the top of which he could attack and kill God, to avenge the descendants of Noah for the horrors of the flood.

While the Bible provides only brief references to this original "Tyrant of the Tigris", other scriptures, almost unknown, exist which tell of his exploits, his despotic character, his cruelty and his cunning. Almost alone in his stalwart opposition to the pagan beliefs of Nimrod, his followers, and even his family, the youthful son (Abram) of Nimrod's military commander-in-chief, his own father Terah, undertook to overthrow and humble the great dictator, which he eventually did long after his father's death in Syria. Abram's name was later changed to Abraham, whom the world knows as the noble patriarch and first true friend of God.
