he was to dangerous, to controlling, to ruthless to be kept alive or stay in power. the United States also should have been more on top of the situation that unfolded in the middle east. i also believe that Iraq would have been freed from Hussein's regime 2 to 3 years earlier
for the people who feel that Saddam had a human heart i can understand that. but he killed thousands of his own people with gas, his secret police made booms to care throughout the world and to use them in Iraq. so for people to say that "i feel bad for Saddam" shouldn't be true. I've seen the kinds of things he did to his people. he killed anyone that tried to flee the country because of the regime's grip on the country. in my opinion Saddam Hussein got what was coming to him.
@xBlooWahFullx seriously i think he knew that he was done and just became attached to George because he wasnt a dick to him, I think his punishment wast certainly just but for some reason this doc showed a human side to the monster. I think geroge became attached to him more than he let on aswell.
Wow thats really interesting. When i was in high school back then i said... "that fucker is gonna die." but now since i watched this.. It made me realised that saddam had a good side.. I kinda felt bad... But its true though.. it would be fair if he dies. And so he did. And to George Piro is a true and real hero! I admire him.
@khey86 More than likely the man knew he was facing death. He was at the end of his regime and had nothing left only this man George Piro...Even sickest criminals on death row act with kindness to prison guards. Yeah, George Piro, is certainly someone to be admired as he did something no government was able to do.. he finally got Saddam to talk...but like I said, the circumstances were quite dire.
we should interrogate bush! millions of people died and dismembered or lost love ones because of bush and his girlfriend tony blair of england, thousands of our boys got killed as well at iraq, we must put the son of a %$#$@ before he dies and go to hell!
@mohaa2007 Did you watch the entire documentary? At the very end, Piro states that Saddam said that he had the capabilities to reassemble WMDs and that he would have continued to assemble them to protect Iraq. Not only that, but Saddam slaughtered hundreds of thousands of his own people in mass genocide. If a tyrant was in the state you live and was slaughtering hundreds of thousands of your countrymen, wouldn't you want someone to come in and liberate you?
@dandingo13 Israel have WMDs , USA have WMDs , Iran have WMDs , RUSSIA , CHINA , JAPAN ...ETC
OHH we should invade all the world !
come on dude that's not even a good reason to start a war , they didn't even find one weapon !
and by the way am iraqi and i lived every single day of the war. you don't have any clue about what happening in IRAQ, i swear there were days when 100 iraqis get killed each day after we got LIBERATED !
@uuukkjj We killed his soldiers who were MURDERING innocent men, women and children. How many people would you consider to be an OK number for a dictator to murder before someone steps in and stops them?
George Piro did a great job! No other could have accomplished what he did, using his linguistic, cultural skills- he's of ancient Assyrian descent (born in Beirut)- he managed to get across the points that many people were and still are scratching their heads over.
was saddam a tyrant? yes. did he deserve this punishment? no. it is sad that george w. bush jr. deserved this punishment more so then saddam and he will never see it. saddam just wanted the mid east to see him as a ruler that was not to be crossed in protection of his own regime. but saddam did deserve imprisonment but i think death was just bush jr.'s tally to win favor from his daddy.
americans were oil hungry, they went to iraq n drank enough oil as they can.
thats all.
u give different names for it, WMD,AL QUAIDA.
u need someone with the caliber of sadam to control iraq.
middle east rulers have been really harsh from history, controling middle east isnt easy. IRAQ people hate americans n they want the americans to get the hel out of their country.
so y the hell americans care about sadam when IRAQI people dont want americans? bush should have concentrated on US economy
Saddam killed over 100,000 people USA killed 1,500,000 Iraqis, I think George W Bush & his father should have been in that interrogation room with Saddam Hussein.
@BeatsByeJ I'm a fourteen year old and have a great interest in information from all subjects. Honestly, I've been into National Geographic for as long as I can remember. Please don't group an entire generation together because that's just closed minded, even a bit ignorant. Sure, not all people my age give a damn about the world around them, but there are those like me who really do. Thanks for the upload! =] Great story. George Piro is simply amazing.
Saddam was the best leader in the region in general.
