Did Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi successfully herd cats?

The metaphor centers on facts these two Presidents were able to coalesce the different tribes in their countries into one unified unit, as fragile as the relationships may have been.

They did it and their countries were recognized and accepted in the world community. Each country, Iraq and Libya, made meaningful contributions on the world stage until elements came in with deliberate and diabolical mandates to disable the inter-relationships between the tribes for whatever reasons, mainly through racial and religious means.

I am ever mindful how racial and religious riffs were successfully engineered in Iraq. The people kept pleading, “Please don‘t do that! We are all Iraqis! We are one people!” and them came the twice bombing of the Golden Dome Temple. The second time was with the presence of U.N. troops 'guarding' the temple against further damages.

Both Presidents Saddam and Gaddafi have been demonized as being crazy as we have all been advised of the impossibilities of herding cats.

Saddam Hussein was President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003 and Pres. Gaddafi has ruled Libya for over forty years herding cats, if you will.

What is so hard for America to understand is these leaders loved their country and all its citizenry, hence effort were sustained against breath-taking odds to keep their herd together.

In my opinion, to unify the different tribes in each country was no small feat and I am mindful how it relates to certain states in America with present desires and threats to secede from the Union due to the fact we have a Black President, Barack Hussein Obama and yes, he is herding cats due to the people he himself employed. One could argue ‘self inflecting wounds’.

God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. So far, racial and religious wedges can not be used in Afghanistan. (Cross fingers)
