Saddam, the son of peasants, was born in a village near the city of TikrÄ«t in northern Iraq. The area was one of the poorest in the country, and Saddam himself grew up in poverty. His father died before he was born, and he went at an early age to live with an uncle in Baghdad.
(Photo: Mission of Iraq to the UN) Saddam Hussein, the President of Iraq, has used any means necessary to hold onto power for more than two decades. His reign continues even in the face of U.S. plans to overthrow him. In January, U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld announced that Hussein should leave Iraq.
