to stop stupid comments from the few Repuglicans on the board:

I'm NOT critiquing the US for supporting Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran. US was within it's rights to support either or neither side. I'm critiquing the hypocrisy and the attempt to rewrite history.

On a related subject: I DO critique the US for getting the Shah in power in Iran and paving the path for the Iranian Revolution, which has caused a lot of misery in that region. But hey when has it ever had a positive long term effect when the CIA has helped rightwing despots into power in favor of democratic elected leaders (Chile, Iran, Zaïre, ...).
