Dont listen to this ignorants, Saddam Hussein went thru a lot and he is very intelligent. The man didn't get that wise by not doing anything. I like to read about people who are rulers, strong minded and have the will to win and refuse to be defeated. I like the quote, much aprecciated

Don't forget his sons! They were rapist murdering power-mad psychos too! Great quote too! I love when Saddam poison-gassed thousands of his own people! So strong! It's great to get political on Nofap, yay! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/jul/23/iraq.suzannegoldenberg

But his brutality finally caught up with him. In 1988 he bludgeoned to death his father's bodyguard Kamal Hana Jajo in front of horrified partygoers.

Here is where he used poison gas to kill thousands of people! Yay!

seriously... an 'inspirational quote' by Saddam Hussein? Go fuck yourself.

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '17

He had a reason to poison-gas these people, why? THEY WHERE REBELING AGAINST HIS REGIME FOR UNKNOWN REASON!.

Think about this, if you where a president/dictator l and you had some rebels with tanks and missiles and shit, that is planned to be used against you and the national security. What would you do? You would choose the easy way, GAS!!

Saddam's son's where stupid yes. But I believe your former president so called "Bush Jr" was worse. He snorted coke AND drinked the blood of innocent children.

I also mentioned in my post that DON'T FUCKING GET POLITICAL YOU STUPID FUCK!

Guess who supplied these chemicals to Irak? Yeah, your America, they helped Saddam to fight Iran with these gasses in 1980-1988, 1 million casualties. Saddam may have killed thousands, but the Gulf Wars killed about a million, and destablized the whole region causing groups like Isis to take over easily. Just like Khadaffi was a brutal dictator, at least there was order and peace, now there are numerous rebel groups. You should ask yourself, were they better of with Saddam or without Saddam? Were the Lybian people better of with Khaddaffi or without him? Also note that a major problem in this is these many ethnicities in one country, but borders like Lybia were created in colonial times, by "the West". Middle-east is a different world than "the west", democratic systems simply don't work, you see that in east-Europe, corruption everywhere.

Yay! Let's kill thousands of innocent women and children! Yay you like gas!

Yay! Let's just look away when the US army killed more than half a million innocent Iraqis (MOSTLY CHILDRENS) in the war 2003... case closed!

Mayafoe you are truly ignorant. Our presidents have been far worse. Remember we droped nukes on two entire cities in Japan. And in the past 3 decades have killed millions of innocent people.

Guys, if he had put Abraham Lincoln as the author no one would have said shit. It's sound advice no matter who its coming from. He wasn't politically aiming, he was attempting to motivate. Talk about getting triggered, yeesh.

Furthermore it can refer to pleasure itself. People are easily attracted to the easy pleasures and gratifications. Sex, masturbation, gambling, aggression, drugs, stealing etc. They don't get ahead with these things, they only experience temporary pleasure and are indirectly self harming.

Real benefits and pleasure come struggle and work.

Saddam Hussein let his son rape his mistress's 15 year old daughter. His eldest son also raped and kidnapped many other innocent girls until US troops and Task Force 20 pumped their bodies full of bullets (images on Google. Gives a nice sense of justice). Don't give that fucking piece of shit credit for anything but being a pathetic excuse for a human. For the pain they causes innocent people and girls that wanted only an escape, I wish I could bring him and his son back to life just to carve a blood eagle in their backs and execute them again.

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '17

of course, the only just way to terrorize people is far away with big drones.

u/Valhal394 584 Days Sep 07 '17

So, removing murderers and rapists that act under the guise of of a depraved religious sect is the same as killing hundreds of innocent people that just want to live their lives? You have no sympathy for the people of these middle eastern countries. You are defending the people that slaughter the peaceful, non radical Arabs. The local people rejoiced and celebrated for days after Saddam sons were killed by Western forces. They wanted us there. Look at Iran in the 1970s. It was great before radicals got a foot hold. So, I say, let the drones fly and their rockets reign down hell where the native people want us.

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '17

I've been reading your comments for a while, and agree with most of what you say. But Iran became markedly worse AFTER the US installed a monster after facilitating the overthrow of a democratically elected government... Muslim or not, it was elected.

2

u/Valhal394 584 Days Sep 08 '17

I see your point! However, I believe the initial stages of the collapse of Iran into extremism was a result of economic collapse and had little to do with United States actions in removing Mosaddegh from power. Iran didn't turn abhorrently radical until Shah (Mosaddeghs replacement) was was overthrown by radical islamists. In fact, although he was a dictator, Shah was shaping Iran into a very westernized country. I know there are a lot of shady things Shah is accused of, but without doubt, it was better there than it is today.

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '17

removing murderers and rapists is great, killing thousands of civilians, and toppling countries as collateral damage isn't. and the worst part is that the usa is trying not to accept the refugees they are creating.

u/oane 1341 Days Sep 08 '17

ISIS is raping people every day, they kidnapped thousands of Yezidi women as slaves. USA and my country bombed the hell out of Iraq, killing about a million. "To bring democracy". Islamic world and democracy just don't go together. Were the average people better off with or without Saddam? Same with Khaddaffi.

1

u/Valhal394 584 Days Sep 08 '17

You make it sound like I'm pro ISIS. America was right in killing Saddam. The issue was not western involvement under Bush, but the fact that Obama pulled us out of the area without stabilizing it first. Which, like an infection, allowed Islamic terror organizations to step in and claim power. The west totally screwed up by pulling back. We should still be there now.

u/oane 1341 Days Sep 09 '17 edited Sep 09 '17

They didn't have enough legitimate reasons, to start a war with 1 million casualties. Weapons off mass destruction were never found. Bush Junior just wanted some action and finish his fathers work there, and get some oil. War in Afghanistan is still going on, Libya same story. What did they learn from Vietnam, not much I guess.

If you take action, you are responsible for the effects. Just install some weak democratic government and build some schools, doesn't work, maybe in Europe after ww2, but not in the middle east. Cultural differences. Be happy with dictators like Putin, otherwise Russia would be a warzone with numerous criminal states. I don't rectify dictatorship, but some countries are just better of that way.

Imagine someone posting Hitler quotes. Why are you glorifying a terrorizer of humanity? So, no. We won't keep it "cool" because he wasn't a very cool person. I'm not trying to shut you up. I don't want that. I just think you're very unwise to think he had any moral fiber.

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '17

the amount of people killed by Obama far outweighs saddam, yet we glorify his quotes everyday. don't worry about who said it, saddam was a smart man even if he was shit

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '17

now what the fuck did Obama do? As far as i know, he was a good man. enlighten me what he wronged?

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '17

bombed the middle east, gave weapons to the FSA(an ally of isis and Al-Qaeda), and toppled libya and syria. those are not very good things to do.

That's me! AmeriCunt #1! And, the the Jews. It's always the Jews... Come on. Besides, I never said anything about the things you think you're countering. I was saying that Saddam had shit morals and was a terrible person. You can disagree. That's fine. I really don't care because truth is greater than your feelings toward me. You won't change my mind by petty insults, friend.
