With a PoD of 1992, how can we have Saddam Hussain have his image both in Iraq and internationally rehabilitated to the maximum degree? With Saddam still in power, the rest of the world talking to him and recognizing his regime, Saddam needing minimal (compared to OTL) brutality to control his people, and Iraq as prosperous as possible.

Obviously, Saddam will still be seen as evil to virtually everyone internationally because he is, but is it possible for one of the 20th and 21st centuries worst men, in the terrible position he is in in 1992, to turn it around and become a normal accepted part of the world that has at least some popularity at home and few relevant people abroad trying to oust him?
