No, he was a sack of shit, but Iraq deserved him. I wish they still had him.

well polls don't lie

GOAT leader no doubt

He "was" the good guy until the West had no need for him.

Not really.
Whether he was beneficial is up for debate though.

Pretty cool guy, killed terrorists and doesn't afraid of anything

He made things really uncomfortable for Satan

Not if you like your freedoms, but he kept the terrorists in check

Based national socialist
He could of made Arabia great again

He was the lesser evil. Dictators like Him, Assad and Gaddafi at least kept a lid on things.

The problem with them is the power vacuum it creates when they die if they haven't arranged their own succession.

Most of the world can't or won't handle democracy. Even in the West, I'd say it is failing and we'd be better off by restricting voting rights to actual tax payers and home owners with a stake in their country.

Are there truly benevolent leaders, anywhere in the world? Do you think YOUR billionaire psychopath leaders are ideal candidates for America's governance and ideal people to dictate foreign policy when a light has been shone so many times on their nefarious relationships with lunatic arms dealers and the Middle East? How about England's? There's a reason we call these cunts "Blairites" when they all know each other, go to school together, marry each other's family and form the government body of our country together.

Only one thing's certain from my perspective, the USA had absolutely no business fucking with Iraq just like it had no business fucking with Libya and no business fucking with Syria.

Again?

It's never been great. Even with infinite oil money it is still a swamp pit of the lowest forms of human civilisation.

All things considered, especially in retrospect, he was one of the least bad options I could imagine.

>Assad
Bashar Al-Assad really isn't that bad and Gaddafi was *tolerable*.

>swamp
They wish, bruv.

Also please don't disrepect swamp people.

Who gives a shit? he was a camelfucker from a desert we should had left alone.

Boo hoo did someone take your dictator away? You could always go back and be part of the next big moustache movement o the Arabic world.

he was the hero they deserved.

Nope Arabia has never been great.

T.E. Lawrence: So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people - greedy, barbarous, and cruel, as you are.

Nice. They deserved him but did he deserve them a chicken and egg dance of crapness

In the short term he was one of the most brutal murderous dictators maybe in the history of the region and I understand why he had to be stopped. He broke every UN rule that declares a nation sovereign.

In the long run, Iraq probably would have fared better with him in power and ever since it was said he loved eating doritos while he was in prison, seemed like less of a bad guy

>Saddam was into the upkeep and restoration of historical and tourist-attracting sites
>Stfled religious extremism
>Satans abusive boyfriend on SP

I wish America never murdered him. Sooo many issues with the death of one man

No, but a good guy would never be able to hold Iraq together.

>It was only America
:^)

>implying it was our fault too

Blair wouldn't given Bush head if it made him look like a PM with UK-USA relations in mind

no in the really really god guy, but in geo-political way yes he was

>w-we don't have any responsibility because I didn't agree with my democratically elected leaders
By the same logic Americans hold no responsibility as well since most people opposed the prolonged war
