It was the US and Rumsfeld who supplied and supported Saddam in the 1980's, even when he was using chemical weapons. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn...
The US supported Saddam when he oppressed his own people, and when he attacked Iran.
At the end of the first Gulf War Bush Sr. encouraged the Kurds and Shiites to rise up against Saddam, only to then sit back and watch as they cried out for our help when Saddam crushed all who did so. http://www.tbsjournal.com/cull.html...
Now we have removed Saddam's party from power, exposing them to the violence and retaliation of those they harmed when in power, and we are having their leader Saddam hanged for all Iraq to see.
I believe the United States has now successfully betrayed every major group in Iraq.
Do you suppose there is anyone left in Iraq, or the region, who trusts the United States?
Should we be surprised whe
