Paramount Power

After coming to power Saddam Hussein made himself the only true power all over Iraq. He asked people to treat himself as he is the God to them. He even renamed several mosques, airports, neighborhoods and entire cities after him just to show the people of Iraq that his rule was paramount. In schools, students were taught songs like,“Saddam, oh Saddam, you carry the nation’s dawn in your eyes.”
His statue guarded every villages entrance and his portrait was put on every wall of public offices and houses.
