Old and New Tyrants of Iraq

"Saddam! What a name! When he was in power he made Iraqis chant “Your name shook America Saddam.” Here it is. It did shake America. In fact, it shook the whole world.

Since I was born in 1980, Saddam was everywhere. His pictures, posters, and name were in front of the eyes of Iraqis. It was even inside their heads all the time. They were either people supporting him or not. In all cases, he was there with his iron fist, cruelty and power. Every Iraqi feared him. No one dared to criticize him even by whispering inside their homes. The whole family, if not the whole tribe, would have been vanished."
