On the morning of Eid al-Adha in December 2006, Raghad Saddam Hussein, her sister and their children squeezed together in front of the television in Raghad's home in Amman and wept as they watched footage of her father being hurtled by masked men to the gallows where he would be hanged.

"I never saw that moment and I refuse to see it," Raghad, Saddam Hussein's eldest daughter, told CNN in her first interview since her father's death ten years ago.

Bush, who ordered the invasion of Iraq, said just after Saddam Hussein's death that the execution "would not have been possible without the Iraqi people's determination to create a society governed by the rule of law." Raghad, now 48, is the eldest daughter of the deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

ISIS, or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, started as the Islamic State of Iraq in 2006 -- the year of Saddam Hussein's death -- and expanded to Syria in 2014, three years after the eruption of violence there.

But for many, the execution of Saddam Hussein ended the life of a brutal dictator who oppressed the people of Iraq for three decades, unleashed devastating regional wars and reduced his once flourishing oil-rich nation to a police state.
