Saddam in Iraq

After reading about how Mr. Horowitz traveled to Iraq and saw all of the forms of propaganda that Saddam used to get people to support him, i started thinking about how Saddam was kind of like Hitler. Hitler used propaganda along with promises that he never followed through on to get the German people to support him. This is pretty much the same thing that Saddam is doing. Saddam is using his picture that he has put up all over Iraq as a way for the Iraqi people to think of him as a person for the people. Another way that I took the pictures of Saddam, was that maybe he is putting these pictures up so remind people that he is the supreme ruler and that they can't do anything to stop him. These pictures could instill in the minds of the Iraqi people that Saddam is always watching them even if he isn't there in person. Saddam always had spies that worked for him out in the public so he knew if someone was planing to assinate him. Saddam would then have these people that were plotting against him killed before they could do anything to hurt him. Relating this back to Hitler, Saddam almost seemed to use the tactics of Hitler to succeed in all of his evil plans.
