From the perspective of Marxists, historians, Iraqis, Kurds, Muslims, Christians, Persians, and Yankees alike: What did Saddam Hussein do wrong?
From my perspective Americans only know and hate him because he invaded Kuwait, a country that gave the US oil, and would would threaten American economic security. People whine all the time about civilian casualties but blame Saddam for America bombing Iraq "back to the stone age" and then imposing sanctions on the country for a decade, then invading and further destabilizing the country. As far as I know, Kuwait deserved Saddam. I would care more about civilian casualties in Kuwait if NATO didn't prove itself to be a force of mass destruction and terror against a man, who after fighting Iran for a decade, did anything in his power to eliminate the debts that he and his people had acquired from such a costly war. And what would Kuwait lose if Saddam would win? He'd just repair all the damages he did to Kuwait, he was a man who modernized his country, and released it from a bureaucracy of princes and executives. We can't expect people to be perfect, and we can't expect American military to have a soul.
Back to my point, is there anything I should know about Saddam Hussein that he did wrong, maybe there's a detail about the gulf war, Iran-Iraq war, or during his rule from 1968-2003 that I missed.

>>1883265He killed communists and oppressed Shia and other tribes as a favor to his sugar daddy, the USA. The whole deal with Iran was him fucking around and finding out and the USA dropped him just like they drop everyone they use. Also, liberal powers exclusively prop up the worst sects/people in Islam on purpose. The strategy was developed during the Arab Revolt which orchestrated by the British empire to destroy the Ottomans, to divide Islam but it also set the seeds of anti-communis that would be realized by groups like the Muslim Brotherhood later on. The whole philosophy behind it is totally retarded and filled with contradictions like them turning around and saying revolution is the greatest sin, when they thought of themselves as revolutionaries. The reason the west loves being pals with actual tyrants is because they kill the intellectuals that can point this out. The Saudi government kills, exiles and even runs online disinfo campaigns on youtube/twitter to silence dissent.
>but what about daddy saddam there's that picture of women not wearing burkas, so that means he's based!He did the same thing for daddy. He killed any threat against the US, until he did it too much and fucked around and found out.
There's a reason the Iranian revolution caused liberals to seethe for decades. The mastermind of the Iranian revolution was a genius that managed to create a blend of the desire for a religious government that also favored socialist ideas. It was an example of how fragile the nation building that the imperial west did was.
