I can understand now how Saddam stayed in power and stayed powerful through propaganda. His face, his name was everywhere. If you were driving down the road you would see billboards with his face on it. If you flew out of the airport you flew out of Saddam international airport. He was always there to keep an eye on his country. It might not have actually been him, but when people saw his picture or name they thought of him. He stayed powerful because he was on every body's mind constantly. He created the people to fear him, therefore to show respect to him. He made it so he surrounded the people's life almost as if he was drowning them with him. By having all the people in the country thinking of Saddam, they are also thinking about what he can do to them. By thinking about his rules and how he governs, the people lived in fear which gave Saddam power.
