This is all lies from Zion controlled USA government. Saddam is amazing and Iraq was better than almost all the world in many ways, do some real search and learn.

This was an excellent drama that came alive by the execellent portrayals put forth by the cast and crew. I give them a standing ovation and deffinately worth watching if you love history.

Saddam Hussein was a monster and got exactly what he deserved and I can't believe you posted that I mean everybody has the right to free speech which Saddam didn't believe in by the way but wow I bet you're one of those fanatics who want to destroy everything that's Western and if you're not that's how that came across so maybe you should not voice your views so loudly. Do you know how many deaths he's responsible for them hanging him was too good for him they should have done what they did to Gaddafi.
