| | Hussein, Saddam - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Hussein, Saddam |
| | As a secular Arab nationalist, Saddam was initially seen by the West and pro-Western Arab states as a useful bulwark against the threat posed by Islamic fundamentalism in Iran to the Arab states and their oil supplies. | | | Saddam joined the Arab Ba'ath Socialist Party in 1957 and soon became involved in revolutionary activities. | | | When the Kurds rebelled again in 1991, along with Shia Muslims in southern Iraq, after Saddam was expelled from Kuwait, he sent the remainder of his army to crush them, massacring 30,000, bringing international charges of genocide against him and causing hundreds of thousands of Kurds to flee their homes in northern Iraq. |
