Why is it that so many people are totally clueless as to how Saddam Hussein, who was a Sunni Muslim, brutally repressed the Shia Muslims.

Who told you that ?
Oppression is happening the world over, it has always happened, it is a human frailty, anything that is different becomes a threat and a threat has to be controlled or wiped out, so Sunni versus Shia is nothing new there. Say the roles were reversed and Hussein was Shia do you not think the same would have existed, for it is clear it is not so much people of difference in whatever that may be, but the rabble rousers that exist in every club. For with every group in society there always seems to be the same pattern of people, the leaders, the followers, the abstainers,the religious, the activists, the political the I don't give a shit and every subset of every action depending on the size of the group or how many roles a smaller group might take on.
It is even here on the Collarme Forums, here in Politics and Religion, here in this thread, but what makes a person become what they may become is all to do with how much power they are given or allowed to have by whatever means.
Saddam Hussein the worst terrorist in history, I seriously doubt that, but then again that all depends on the range of your perspective and who told you what you know.
But then again, Shia and Sunni are subsets of Islam, if they are fighting each other, why do you give a shit, it is not your problem.
