It was as if Saddam Hussein was hated by everyone. He destroyed competitors and opposition, persecuted Shiites he did not want, attacked his neighbours, committed genocide, drove the country into debt, quarreled with the leaders of the world powers and engaged in a brutal war. However, decades have passed and there is talk that overthrowing the dictator was a big mistake. So what was it all about?

What were the goals that led the young Hussein into politics? To what extent was he changed by wealth and the cult of personality? What role did the personal interests of the United States play in Iraq's fate? And what was left to Saddam's compatriots after the massacre of him? Let's try to figure it out!
