    Saddam Hussein was a lot like Macbeth in the way that he wanted
    power. Just like Macbeth, Saddam used fear to keep power as a leader.
    He was seen as a great leader by his people. He had several reforms
    made to the country such as reforms for education, health, and the
    general publics welfare. However, Saddam also developed Iraqs first
    chemical weapon program and created a powerful security system. After
    the U.S. found out about the chemical program and the 9/11 attack,
    president Bush accused Iraq of having weapons of mass destruction.
    Though no evidence of mass weapons of destruction was found, America
    and iraq went to war. During the war, Saddam had fled and was later
    found to be hanged.
