He deserves to be purged and here's a quote from him telling you exactly why:
"The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them.", Ron Paul
He's a liar. Saddam Hussein gave sancturay to the worst of the worst islamic terrorists. Prior to our invasion he had given sanctuary to this diverse crew:
Abu Nidal, al Zarqawi and Abu Abbas. Abbas was directly responsible for the death of Leon Klinghoffer, an American Jew aborad the Achille Lauro.
Ron Paul is a liar, no better than any lying leftist.
Who was the seller Ron?

Saddam ran the most or at least the second most secular Islamic nation in the world. He was no friend of the radical, fundamentalist Islamics. In fact, they were a danger to him. The only other Islamic nation that comes close to his rule is Turkey, but they are now under attack by the radical fundamentalists.
Of course, you can have isolated instances where Saddam helped individual radical Muslims, but it was not his general policy as they were a threat to him and his government.
When and if we leave Iraq, we will leave a government that is much more predisposed to accept radical Islam.
