The article claims Saddam was just as bad as ISIS. And ISIS is not launching scuds at Israel. Or invading Kuwait, just yet. They are repeating Saddam’s war with Iran though. Think we now know why Obama and McCain were arming the group that later became ISIS.
Saddam was not as bad as ISIS. At least not for Christians, Yazidis, women, etc.
There were no public crucifixions or burnings under Saddam. Women were not enslaved and sold to the highest bidder. Though if you pissed him or a member of his government off sufficiently I have no doubt similar things happened in private.
