Saddam Hussein was the Sunni president of Iraq. He was an atheist liberal.
As is often the case, national alignments can change rapidly. During the 1980s, during the Iran-Iraq war, the United States considered Saddam Hussein to be a friend and assisted him with loans. During the 1990s, however, Saddam was considered one of America's greatest enemies.
Saddam was captured by America, and, after a trial, hanged on December 30, 2006. Interestingly, the name Saddam means "one who confronts".
