Saddam Hussein was an odious dictator, but he was also a very effective opponent of Iran. He was also a very effective opponent of al-Qaida.

What it warned of was this: it's very important that we don't replace one dictator, Saddam Hussein, with another. I totally agree with that.

Saddam Hussein and people like him were very much involved in 9/11.

Kim Jong-un's style is more suggestive of Saddam Hussein or his murderous son, Uday Hussein.

I was an opponent of Saddam Hussein when the British and American governments and businessmen were selling him guns and gas.

I am an opponent of Saddam Hussein, but an opponent also, of the sanctions that have killed a million Iraqi children and an opponent of the United States' apparent desire to plunge the Middle East into a new and devastating war.
