I had read all of them but one. It was the second to last one.

You once again declared yourself the expert on what you believed to be true, but were wrong about. Saddam had seen the Islamic handwriting on the wall. Do you remember the Son In Law that CNNs bureau chief helped lure back to his death? He had fled because Saddam issued instruction to all family and Baath leaders to study the Koran, Saddam believed that if they could not lead an Islamic society, they would be overthrown. The SIL didn't want to pretend to be an Islamic.

Thus your proclamation:

"S.H. was certainly a murderous Dictator, prior to his overthrow Iraq was perhaps the *most* 'secular' of Arab nations. Radical Islamicists were tossed in prison or killed. They did not use Sharia"

was an example of your misinterpreting what your biased media sources allowed you to know about. You may be tempted to argue that you were right on a technicality of being the "most secular". If you wish to be known for intentionally misleading people, it is a course that will achieve that objective.
