We Christians were not his biggest fans, either, despite what you may have heard about Tariq Azziz. He rolled back reforms and "guarantees" instituted by one of his predecessors in favor of "Arabization." I shall only say that we hoped for better once Saddam was gone, but the secular "Arab" oppression of Saddam seems to have been replaced by a Muslim fundamentalist fervor of intolerance towards non-Muslims.
It is understandable of not liking him for the Assyrian Christians.
However, he is not really a monster for the Sunni Muslims who are the majority in Iraq. And most people he killed were Shia Muslim Kurds who were mostly separatists.
Indeed, Saddam was a dictator, but even a dictator won't kill his own people for no reason or intentionally ruined his country.
