At the very least, we can say Saddam was misguided, or went astray. He had his own intepretation of his Muslim faith. He apparently believed that the end justifies the means. This failure to make the right choice of actions is the main cause to all of the problems today, specifically those that are related to religion and dogmas. The initial failure may start on a personal basis, such as verbal criticisms or hatred. If not caught early this error can snowball into a full scale war resulting in the deaths of many lives, as we see in Iraq and Afghanistan today. This is really really putting it mildly. Saddam's own mother tried to abort him. He grew up murdering people and associating with murderers. He was involved in assassination attempts and once he seized power he killed those he didn't trust.< There is no comparison to the wars he started and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Saddam's war with Iran started over an oil rich strip of land he wanted and millions died for it. His war with the U.N.coalition, was over his attempt to annex a sovereign, oil rich country, Kuwait. Saddam killed via murder, war, and genocide for his own personal power and glory.
