Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia and Iraq were enemies but allies at the same time. With the conflict between Iran and Saudi Saddam helped Saudi win. At the same time he was in debt to Saudi and they wanted their money back. This started a variety of conflicts between both Saudi and Iraqi leaders and Saudi and Iraqi people. Saddam Hussein went to Saudi many times to visit dignitaries because he thought that Iraq did not need to pay back this debt because in some ways they had payed it back by helping Saudi in their own war. These visits showed Saddam's political side.
