Life Under Sadam

Saddam Hussein's regime has been the Iraqis biggest threat for the past 20 years. Saddam would use any opportunity to kill the people of his country in order to exercise his power and show just how much authority he had. As a ruler, Saddam killed, tortured, raped, and terrorized millions of people.  Almost all Iraqis except for those who were his extremist followers, feared him and were terrified of living under his rule. Over the past five years, 400,000 Iraqi children under the age of five died of malnutrition and disease due tro the nature of the regime they were living under. He would conduct multple chemical attacks which resulted in the deaths of over 30,000 innocent Iraqis.
