Issues Of War The president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein has been the dictator of Iraq since 1979. He has used murder and aggression to retain powers, and has led Iraq into two disastrous wars. Hussein has spent billions of dollars to acquire biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons and appeared to successfully hidden equipment and materials to build these weapons from the UN Inspectors in the years since the Gulf War. His ruthless repression has enabled him to keep a tight grip on power despite American efforts to undermine his rule. In the second case, the stakes were much higher, as Hussein sought to annex Kuwait and take control over the enormous oil reserves. The results of the war with Iran did not reduce Hussein's ambitions and recklessness. If anything it increased them. He decided to use his armed forces to seize one of the biggest strategic prizes in the oil reserve of Kuwait. The Gulf War was fought between Iraq, which had invaded Kuwait in 1990, and a US led coalition formed to force the Iraqis to withdraw.
