Remembering Saddam Hussein

The CIA analyst, John Nixon, who interrogated Saddam Hussein has written a book about the ex-Iraqi dictator. Most of us do not have time to read books, especially about irrelevant dead dictators, but I strongly recommend watching the interview with this man whose job in CIA was to study and analyze Saddam (the 2nd part of the interview is here).
It is worth remembering how the MSM portrayed Saddam before, during, and after the invasion of Iraq. According to our free Western media, Saddam (just like Milošević and Gaddafi) was an evil dictator, who was torturing and killing his own people. He even gassed his own people (just like Bashar al-Assad more recently), and he was compared to Hitler (just like Vladimir Putin and all of the previously mentioned "evil dictators").
Remember everything you heard or read about Saddam and listen to the guy whose job was to analyze Saddam, and who interrogated him until he was executed. That should help you understand and interpret the current news, if you haven't yet realize that the goal of the MSM is not to inform you, but to brainwash you. Every time you hear about a new "Hitler", or any "evidence" against that new "Hitler", you should remember Saddam and... be skeptical!
If anyone could somehow strip all the spin and propaganda from the numerous articles and "news" about these "evil dictators", it should be obvious that these dictators do not come even close to the worst dictatorships in the world (e.g. Saudi Arabia), which happen to be friendly with USA, and therefore, cannot be criticized. If there is anything common for these three Middle Eastern dictators, it is that they were secular, in the case of the two dead ones, socialist leaders, who despite their efforts did not manage to (always) please the USA and ended up as "enemies" of the Empire.
I am not saying that Saddam, Gaddafi, and al-Assad, were/are not dictators. Yes, they were/are dictators, but they were/are not the worst ones, and therefore, we should not rush to remove them. Even if we ignore all the lies and manipulations designed to fool us that Iraq, Libya, and Syria were supporting or harboring terrorist, let's ask ourselves how can a criminal act, such as war (in fact, war is "the supreme international crime", according to Article 39 of the United Nations Charter), can be used to correct the crimes of a dictator? How can a crime be corrected by committing the supreme crime?
What the "regime change" adventures in Iraq, Libya, and Siria, did achieve? We destroyed three peaceful, secular, multi-cultural, and multi-ethnic countries and turned them into failed states that are now breeding grounds for terrorists. Congratulations!
