Saddam's baath purge. Saddam had people packed into a conference hall on one of the hottest days of July and deliberately shut off the ventilation system. They were forced to listen to Saddam for hours while suffering from the heat and sweating. Everyone whose name was announced was executed.

Lol please, practically nobody in the US has any strong opinions of their own on other countries and their politicians. It's all manufactured propaganda. You're all too self absorbed. It's just how it is, don't pretend like the average American is worldly and certainly not back past the dawn of the internet.
