Saddam's Big Brother - Iraq

March 2003
Saddam Hussein's flawless propaganda machine is an integral part of his power.

Image is key. We take a look at the ways Saddam manages his public profile in his Orwellian state. Contains good footage of Saddam dancing with villagers, taking swimming lessons in the Tigris and interviews with his son Uday.

@stars1976 First of all this man build Iraq at the time Iraq was one of the richest countries in the middle east you rarely saw any poor people. He protected Iraq from Iran there was no diffrence between sunni, shia, kurd or chirstian all were Iraqi's. You could walk safe on the street. People did not get killed because of religous belives. The people of iraq were highly educted. And I do not like Uday Hussein.

@Ansar3raq That is true that Saddam Hussein built Iraq..then he destroyed Irag by war with Iran and invasion of Kuwait. He hated and feared shias and the kurds. He killed and tortured a lot of people and let psychopaths like Uday roam around..Saddam was the ultimate psychopath.

@FTJproductions Uday didn t have to hold any position..he could do what he wanted, as did Saddam..you think that a system can survive when your subjects are dead-scared of you?? have a look at Libya and Syria and Iraq.

power could be a good thing or it could be the worst thing to acquire if u lack self control, saddam and his family got bored with it so for entertainment turned to bloddshed, especially Uday that kid was heartless..its funny how these dictators and regimes dont learn from the most powerful empire in world history, the roman who also got bored with power and crumbled from within

Its true Saddam built Iraq from scratch, my uncle who is Serbian worked over there in the 70's and early 80's and said they payed him fair and it was a pleasant place to work at... there was no strictness there as there is today, the only reason Arabs hate christians is because of American Christians portray a bad picture for the rest of us christians..
