Saddam Hussein
- Saddam Hussein was the Sunni Leader of Iraq.
- We was a former CIA asset, employed in the Iraqi ministry of defence to keep watch over the actions of the then-Iraqi leader Qassim.
- After many Ba'athist coups of the Iraq government, Hussein finally seized control of the government of Iraq (1979).
- In 1980, the Shiite population of Iran overthrows the government, an action that incites the Iraq-Iran war.
- After raging on for 8 years, the war leaves Iraq totally ravaged and bankrupt. Meanwhile, the success of Kuwait oil drops oil prices worldwide, and poses a major threat to the rebuilding of Iraq's broken economy and infrastructure.
- This leads, of course, to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
- Saddam Hussein would later be hanged after a long effort to locate his whereabouts (ironically, as he was a CIA asset for many years).
