But really, why does it matter? They were both pretty messed up people that were responsible for the deaths of thousands and thousands of people.
The CIA and every other organization/group making this planet a bigger hell hole then it needs to be.
Wow. You serious? Saddam had more influence and power and a longer reign of terror....so Saddam by far, Osama was a religious zealot with a severe case of being a sociopath. Saddam straight up mustard gassed his own people.....
Bin Laden was worse. Despite what the U.S. govt likes to say about Saddam, he was no terrorist. And during his reign, women in Iraq had the highest literacy and education rates in the Middle East. Under Saddams Hussein's reign, Iraq enjoyed prosperity. Iraq was mostly a secular country when Saddam was in power, so education, and wealth was not a problem in the country at the time. The U.S. likes to use propaganda to make him look bad. Sure Saddam was no saint, he killed his own people, but he was not worse than many other tyrants in the world.
Exactly, you are supposed to care for your population, not kill them. It wouldn't have mattered if he had only been in power for a month, you don't kill the people that look up to you to care for them.
Bin laden, no question. The celebrations and outpouring of expresioin, after his death was announced, speaks volumes about the hatred that this man managed to earn for himself.
