Saddam Hussein Execution = 20megs
Saddam Hussein was dictator of Iraq from 1979 until 2003, when his regime was overthrown by a United States-led invasion. Hussein had joined the revolutionary Baath party while he was a university student. He launched his political career in 1958 by assassinating a supporter of Iraqi ruler Abdul-Karim Qassim. Saddam rose in the ranks after a Baath coup, and by 1979 he was Iraq's president and de facto dictator. He led Iraq through a decade-long war with Iran, and in August of 1990 his forces invaded the neighboring country of Kuwait. A U.S.-led alliance organized by George Bush (the elder) ran Hussein's forces out of Kuwait in the Gulf War, which ended in February of 1991 with Saddam still in power.

My first reaction when I saw your name on my blog was 'oy vey - my readership is comprised of fascists...' - so I decided to follow your link and read your blog; Lo and behold, I realised (To my utter relief and delight) that the I misinterpreted the title of your blog. Upon further reading I discovered an excellently written and very relevant blog, kudos.
Your newest fan,
