Ben Sharmak
Dictator of Iraq during the early years of the War on Terror. Hussein was accused (by the Bush White House) of hoarding biological and chemical “weapons of mass destruction,” as well as collaborating with al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. These two accusations were then used as justification for America’s invasion of Iraq in 2003, though both were later found to be exaggerated or even false. Hussein was captured in 2003 and executed in 2006.
