What does /pol/ think of Saddam? Personally I think he was exactly what the Middle-East needed. He was intending to erase one entire Islamic sect. He attempted to modernise the sands with the arts, schooling for both genders, nationalism, economic prosperity and most importantly, was based as fuck in dealing with U.N. sanctions among other things.
Joseph Sassoon's 'Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party: Inside and Authoritarian Regime' is a pretty good read for context.

He killed 6million peaceful Kurdish secular comm- Imean socialist fighters, he would've eradicte them if they didn't took shelter in Turkey because Turks hate them.
>>70819055
Bit hard to understand but fair enough.
Are you suggesting that it is a good or bad thing that he killed the 6million OY VEY! THE 6 MILLION!
>>70819148
I'm glad kurdistan is forming now, with the barzani they'll taste their own poison.
>>70819148
halabja attack is well documented
that being said most middle eastern dictators were secular and did more for their countries than any of these extremist islamic regimes will ever do for them.

>He was intending to erase one entire Islamic sect.
And that's a good thing because...?
>>70819658
One less sect of islam to worry about?
>>70819508
Isn't Barzani pro Turkish and anti Communist
>>70817115
Saddam more like Sodom am I right guys?
>>70819658
Islam is...not..good? Yes, Islam is not good.
>>70817115
Wasn't the first Gulf War to save Saudi Arabia?
The House of Saud, and the sect of Wahhabi Islam are both Jewish in origin posing as hardcore Islamists. Maybe Saddam really was a decent guy? We found out Gaddafi was a good guy after the fact, so it's not out of the question.
>>70819716
Why would you be worried about Shi'a Muslims? You do realize all the problems with Islamic terrorism are caused by Sunni groups, right? Good God /pol/ is clueless.
Saddam was a Sunni extreminist who wanted to kill all Shi'ites and Kurds. The groups targeted by Saddam are actually the LEAST likely Muslims to be terrorists.
>>70819736
Not quite pro Turkish but he understands that there is a time for everything, and anti communist as in pro USA. All those k*rdish fighters fighting for equality labour and socialism and crap like that is going to have to explain how they sold their ideals for little bit more money so that Barzanis can get richer.
Half million of them and their children can suck a dick when they're talking to me now, and that is a good good feeling.

Very rough around the edges but, maybe. He sure knew how to organize the civilized people of Iraq.

he had their shit book written in his own blood, a pragmatic secular leader indeed

What is the Islamic Revolution of 1979?
What is Hizbollah?
What is Islamic Jihad Organization & The Beirut Barracks Bombing?
They are still barbaric. Just look at how much worse their country got even since 1979. Don't tell me they're actually civil because Al-Qaeda and ISIS are Sunni. Fuck, I believe Iran even sponsored the Taliban who are sunni, as well.
>>70817115
best leader of the times.

Think about this though.
With only one sect, those that agree with one another primarily, there is one less country in the Middle-East that breeds radicals.
These dictators like Gadyboy and Saddam quashed mountain coons left and right.
Importantly though? Both dictators mentioned were Sunni. It matters not which sect they were. Yet they were Sunni. There we have two dictators working toward Pan-Arab nationalism. Working toward Arab unity. One people. The principle is similar to the volk. It does not matter who is in charge so long as they are not arguing among themselves and creating problems for others. I truly wish the dictators of the sands were left alone by foreign intervention, the power vacuums left by the Jew inspired invasions decimated the potential future of these nations, Islamic or not, the lack of any effective authority leading from 9/11 to the refugee crisis. UN Jewcucks tried to keep some sort of peace, but the Middle-East cannot be ruled with a Western mindset. Truly, what advantage was there in deposing Saddam?
There were two choices:
a) Majority Sunni Pan Arab nations supplying oil to all
b) The Jew's Saudi wife - The Sauds - feeling envious and demanding the Jew's American cousins convince the West that an invasion was completely necessary. The West then doing so, creating a vacuum. Funnily enough, it also gave hundreds of foreign corporations a government sanctioned excuse to 'restore' Iraq under the Coalition Provisional Authority and Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund which, not only were highly inefficient and poor in their tangible effect (e.g. actually reconstructing anything without structural failures killing multiple workers), also allowed millions and millions of taxpayer dollars to vanish.

Low quality bait.

The absolute political and industrial corruption is only one aspect, the oil vultures in France, Ireland, the U.K, Greece- the 'good guys', gain surprisingly enormous interest condemning the past regime while quietly withdrawing their investments, re-allocating to suit their pockets- it was a clusterfuck in the intermission period. Jesus I can't write it all down there is so much bullshit. Have a fucking look at SIGIR for fuck sake. I'd exceed the word count multiple times if I were to continue, so here is a very basic Wikipedia article. I absolutely recommend reading Sassoon's book to grasp an insight into the absurdity of it all.

Do you not know what nationalism is cunt. He was a secular lad that wanted a stable nation. How is that then achieved when you have multiple factions infighting? Solution's simplistic, wipe one side out. Who gives a flying fuck if the majority is the loser here, leaving only the minority left- the minority are those that align with the leader's ideals, else they would be dead. Those living breed the same ideals in their children and so on and so forth as those very same children pass on increased standards of living, education and comparatively progressive views (to other Islamic nations. Can't compare West and East progression). There could have been a normal country. By wiping out the majority, there is a smaller group to control with greater ease to install what is required for the future. The masses of uneducated dunecoons are disposed of, win win.

He probably thinks all Arab men are beautiful, so complacent he is with them cucking him.

One of the few good guys in the Middle East. We should be giving nukes to Iran not sanctioning to prevent them from making their own.
The Saudis are the greatest force of evil on this planet and only Iran is willing to stop them.
