Ad Nauseam, not Nasuem
"...which stages the story ad nasuem..." is incorrect; the term is "ad nauseam." If the word is misspelled in the passage being quoted, there should be a [sic] after "nasuem." Mpaniello

citations needed
"Hussein's rule was a repressive dictatorship[12] notorious for it's human rights abuses." You cite that he was a dictator but not that he was notorious for human rights abuses. While it may seem obvious (sic) to westerners it needs a solid citation. -thanks

Semi-protected edit request on 16 June 2024
Please add the following sentence with a wikilink be added to the end of the fourth paragraph: "Human Rights Watch estimated that Saddam's regime was responsible for the murder or dissappearence of 250,000 Iraqis." This information is currently sourced to Human Rights Watch in cite 56 in the body but it was blanked from the lede section in a recent edit without adequate explanation. 78.33.244.10 (talk) 09:58, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Dictator
Saddam Hussein was a dictator, why is this missing? It’s not missing from Hitler or Mussolini’s pages. 67.85.20.214 (talk) 21:22, 25 June 2024 (UTC) Yes, the way that Saddam Hussein positioned himself atop the hierarchy in Iraq was essentially in a manner that made him similar to a virus that could not be killed without the risk that the host, i.e. his home country of Iraq, would also die. Iraq has not dissolved, but the risk that the country itself will be dissolved seems to be ever-present. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.242.176.66 (talk) 18:38, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
