Saddam Hussein is not the primary subject of these articles, but is mentioned in the context of the US capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The article draws a parallel between Maduro's capture and historical instances of the US seizing foreign leaders, specifically mentioning Saddam Hussein alongside Manuel Noriega of Panama. This comparison serves to highlight the controversial nature of the US's actions in Venezuela and place them within a historical pattern of interventionism. While Hussein is not directly involved in current events, his name is invoked to provide context and underscore the gravity of the situation in Venezuela, reminding readers of past instances of US intervention and their potential consequences.
