Hussein

Hussein Saddam Hussein took his position as the Head of State of Iraq on July 11th, 1979 after the people had voted to relieve his predecessor, Ahmad Hasan Bakr, due to health reasons. Before he became the Supreme Ruler of Iraq, he held many seats and offices to include Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council, Secretary General of the Ba’th Party Regional Command, Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces (Karsh 110). With all of these positions that he had held at some point in time, it was no wonder that his popularity was wide spread, but unfortunately, his views and beliefs in which he expected to make known were not. As stated earlier, Hussein’s involvement in the Ba’th Party is no mystery.
