It is not the Saddam was an angel. He was a tyrant and a murderer.
However, if for good geostrategic reasons, Saddam was assisted,what of it?
Let us not try to hide a gory and unfortunate part of history just to appears as if one is living in a bed of roses.
Every govt does what is good for its country and it need not be morally angelic!
In these articles read the documents quoted from and just don't dismiss them as that of the liberal left, or far right and other labels that one uses to perfunctorily dismiss ideas and facts that don't appeal!
Shek,
You may be right. I don't dispute that.
However, the issue is not who helped more. The issue is, did the US, amongst others help Saddam or not?
