Answer 1

I agree with your statement for the most part. But technically I can't completely agree with it. Let me explain please.

During the 1970's he was the U.S. "friend" in the middle-east. We supplied him with arms ( Which made those around the world who had interest in arms production very happy) He even by some miracle came up with chemical weapons that he used against the Iranians and the Kurds. He killed tens of thousands of people with them. Iran's army was larger so the weapons gave Saddam a technological advantage.

Then in the late 1970's to early 1980's Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and a fellow by the name of Oliver North started selling weapons to the Iranians, (illegally I might add) to use against Iraq (Saddam). Then when they were being investigated by the Senate for doing this. Col. Oliver North spoke on public TV and said, "As long as they were killing each other we came out ahead". Well guess what happened next.... YOU'VE GOT IT!! Saddam became angry for being betrayed by the U.S. and a Iraqi fighter plane shot one of our Naval vessels with a missile and killed several dozen American sailors in the Persian Gulf. Then the U.S. retreated from the Persian Gulf and Saddam decides to invade Kuait in an act to take back a part of the former country of Iraq's land which had been taken over in the early 1900's by the British. When the Brits pulled out in the 1960's they gave the rule of that small oil rich country to a tribal leader that the British declared to be the royal family.

This led to the U.S. under the control of George H.W. Bush to invade Kuwait and Iraq in the early 1990's and take back the country of Kuwait. During this war the U.S. lead coalition killed massive amounts of Saddam's elite troops. This angered Saddam even more and weakened his hold on that region of the world. When he plotted to kill G.H.W. Bush, the stage was set for the current war when his son George W. Bush got elected. Senior officials in Bush's own administration have admitted that Bush already had plans to invade Iraq before he was ever elected to office.

Now look at all of the death that all of this double-dealing has caused. It's always the common person that pays the ultimate price with their lives. It's easy for someone to stand in front of camera's 14,000 miles away from the fighting and say "Bring it on!" to make themselves sound like some sort of badazz hero.

But to get to the part that I said I disagreed with you on. The U.S. technically didn't kill Saddam. We simply placed him in the hands of a puppet government that we knew "WOULD". And I'm not angry with you. It shows me that someone is thinking out there. Maybe there is hope yet.

Answer 2

He was your friend because the US gave him power,in order to control Iraq (which was close to the Soviet Union and full of oil).But when he became powerfull and didn't coperate with the US then they made a war,they executed him and now they are still trying to control Iraq. Also the US gave power to Bin Laden too! For more information watch the Michael Moore's movies,he explains it better.

Answer 3

acquaintances can replace into enemies!!! i don't think he had something to do with 9/eleven. notwithstanding if while the infantrymen went to get him I do keep in mind video pictures of a image the place a airplane purely struck and the fire replace into ballooning out of the tall development. My interpetation may be thoroughly incorrect. notwithstanding if, I considered that as anti-American. i don't think a chum might have a image such because of the fact those defined surprising up.

Answer 4

You have some very strange friends. Did you miss all that stuff that was going on between 1992 and 2003? Perhaps you think it's a friendly thing for people to seek yellowcake uranium to convert to weapons to use against you. Is Tony Soprano on your speed dialer?

Answer 5

Our state department adheres to the age old axiom of --"Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer". America and every other country of the world do not have friends. They do have convenient and temporary alliances which are as flippant as your favorite whores last love affair!

Answer 6

How many times are you going to ask your retarded "question"? Times change, and as Churchill said, nations don't have friends, they have interests.

Twenty years ago, Saddam's régime was the lesser evil when compared with that of the Ayatollah.

Answer 7

At one time Sadam was backed by the CIA to overturn the Govt of Iraq.

The U.S. gave Sadam the WMD's to fight the Kurds and Iran.

Isn't it funny Sadam was executed before he was tried for the torture and killing of thousands of Kurds?? He was executed for 140 lives he killed because they tried to overthrow him.

The Iraqi courts dismissed the trials of all involved with the Kurd killings because all in involved have been executed and cannot testify that the U.S. gave them the chemical weapons to kill those people.

Answer 8

That isn't proof its propaganda, just because you assemble factual events and to support a ludicrous idea doesn't constitute as proof of the idea.

Answer 9

There are countless pictures of American diplomats and represenativies shaking hands with bad people for diplomatic niceties. Hussein probably would still be in power but for the fact he invaded a close friend of the USA (Kuwait) and threatened Saudi Arabia.

Here's a picture of President Carter's wife Rosalyn Carter shaking hands with serial killer John Wayne Gacey. Does that make her a friend of serial killers becasue she shook hands with one?

Answer 10

Saddam was an example... Not sure what kind of example. They should start hanging the terrorists they're capturing and make an example out of them.
