House of Saddam


I recently watched House of Saddam which is HBO's four part mini series chronicling Saddam Hussein's life from around the time he seized power all the way threw to his execution. The series was gripping. If you new nothing of Saddam's life you would swear that it was fiction. The movie as I like to call it is not just for those who love politics or history, the movie is genuinely good. The whole time I felt as if I were watching an Iraqi version of the Godfather. If I were a history professor I would make viewing House of Saddam mandatory when studying that conflict just as I would make Schindler's List mandatory when studying World War II. Both movies are very important when one is trying to understand the true nature of evil.
