I've had mixed feelings about this.
4 years ago I was a lemming and I believed everything the American President said. Gradually my eyes have opened to the truth.
When Malcolm X preached so strongly against the white man - he wasn't kidding, he was really speaking the truth ( and I am white, so I can say that ! ). The only way he was wrong was his misunderstanding of Islam and his racism, considering all white men evil.
I think Saddam did a lot of wrong and was a tyrant.
The statues of him in Iraq, was definitly un-Islamic for a start.
I often ponder, that the Iraqi Sunnis should have protected their *!*!*!*!e brothers and overthrown Saddam much sooner, rather than wait for america to get involved.
But I also can't help wondering how much lies is mixed with the truth.
Saddam was also building a huge mosque, he died saying shahada.
Allah is best to judge a man, we cannot know now.
