Yes, Saddam Hussein was placed into power with help from the United States.
Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, Equatorial Guinea
- Started his own vicious dictatorial regime, and has been described as Africa’s worst dictator– even worse than Mugabe.
Agusto Pinochet, Chile
- 1,200–3,200 people were killed, up to 80,000 were interned, and up to 30,000 were tortured by his government including women and children.
Idriss Déby, Chad
- Horrific Human Rights record...typical dictator
Manuel Noriega. Panama
- Drug Lord, guilty of “extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, detention without trial and the torture and ill-treatment of demonstrators while he was de facto ruler of Panama from 1983 to 1989, etc...
Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan
- This guy BOILED people to death...and I am not talking 'slow boil / frog in the pot type either.
Ferdinand Marcos, The Phillipines
- As President, he was awfully fond of supporting some of the most horrific human rights abuses– so horrific, that Filipino victims of the Marco regime are now getting monetary compensation.
King Abdullah, Saudi Arabia
- "Under the rule of King Abdullah, human rights activists have been arbitrarily jailed, people are routinely executed without a fair trial (their methods? Beheading and crucifixion. No joke.), and people are sentenced to punishments like “paralysis.”
'Paralysis' -
Yeah, we're going to break your back...?!
Mobutu Sese Seko, Zaire
He is noted for a charming variety of human rights abuses taking place under his regime (like beating people with boards with nails attached to them!)
Fidel Castro, Cuba
- 'Nuff Said
Mommar Qadaffi, Libya
Mohamad Morsi, Muslim Brotherhood - took over Govt in Egypt....
So if you are really surprised the US backed Hussein in their war against Iran you haven't been paying attention for DECADES! (Or you weren't alive then and public schools taught you very little...)
