According to The New York Times, "he [Saddam] murdered as many as a million of his people, many with poison gas. He tortured, maimed and imprisoned countless more. His unprovoked invasion of Iran is estimated to have left another million people dead. His seizure of Kuwait threw the Middle East into crisis. More insidious, arguably, was the psychological damage he inflicted on his own land. Hussein created a nation of informants — friends on friends, circles within circles — making an entire population complicit in his rule". [9] Other estimates as to the number of Iraqis killed by Saddam's regime vary from roughly a quarter to half a million, [10] [11] including 50,000 to 182,000 Kurds and 25,000 to 280,000 killed during the repression of the 1991 rebellion. [12] [13] Estimates for the number of dead in the Iran-Iraq war range upwards from 300,000. [14] en.wikipedia.org
