The two guests of the episode of "The Opposite Direction" did not agree in their assessment of the personality of the late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. One professor at the Sorbonne University said that he "brought nothing but ruin like the rest of the Arab tyrants" The Iraqi media strongly rejected the judgments launched by the professor and said he was an Arab hero and was a nation in a man.
The Arab peoples continue to appreciate Saddam, because he stood with the Arab countries and defended them, and because he does not accept humiliation, injustice and domination.
