http://www.uruklink.net/iraq/bio.htm Curiously straight-forward and (mostly) non-hagiographic official biography of Saddam Hussein. Actually the whole of Iraq’s official website is quite interesting. For example according to the notes of the October 2002 cabinet meeting, Saddam Hussein believes that Zionist interests (not “real American interests”) are behind America’s “hostile policy”: “the American people’s interests lies in dealing with peoples in the world peacefully so as to make its trade interests stable and achieve prosperity with the whole world.” 12:59
