Saddam was not more preferable than anything I can imagine. His history is not lessened by drawing comparisons to other unfortunate circumstances, no matter how we personally may view them. The very idea of more or less preferable is out of place when considering the reign of someone like Saddam Hussein.

Saddam and his regime committed large-scale atrocities during his time in power. He could also be characterized by very up close and personal acts involving the heinous contexts of rape rooms, death by torture, decisions to slaughter the children of political enemies in the presence of their parents, machine-gunning of peaceful protesters. He was a monster, a butcher, a brutal tyrant, a genocidal racist--he was all of this, and more. Saddam Hussein was unquestionably one of the most brutal dictators of the 20th century. History cannot even begin to record the full scale of his atrocities and the effect they had on those affected and the families of those affected.
