Scenarios about 'Saddam Hussein'
Saddam Hussein was the dictatorial president of Iraq from 1979 to 2003, known for his brutal suppression of opposition and the invasions of Iran and Kuwait. His rule was characterized by a cult of personality, Baathist ideology, and confrontations with Western powers, culminating in the Gulf War and the 2003 invasion that removed him from power.
