Yeze has a very good point actually....... overthrow Saddam Iraq under the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party saw severe violations of human rights . Secret police , state terrorism , torture , mass murder , genocide , ethnic cleansing , rape , deportations , extrajudicial killings , forced disappearances , assassinations , chemical warfare , and the destruction of the Mesopotamian marshes were some of the methods Saddam Hussein and the country's Ba'athist government used to maintain control. Saddam committed crimes of aggression during the Iran–Iraq War and the Gulf War , which violated the Charter of the United Nations . The total number of deaths and disappearances related to repression during this period is unknown, but is estimated to be at least 250,000 to 290,000 according to Human Rights Watch , [ 1] with the great majority of those occurring as a result of the Anfal genocide in 1988 and the suppression of the uprisings in Iraq in 1991. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International issued regular reports of widespread imprisonment and torture."Police in other countries use torture, after all, but there are credible reports that Saddam's police cut out tongues and use electric drills. Other countries gouge out the eyes of dissidents; Saddam's interrogators gouged out the eyes of hundreds of children to get their parents to talk
