What, some small agricultural loans & expertise, one helicopter that got misused therefore shot down, and a certain amount of intel? That's all there was, you know.
Surely you're not confused with the $10billion debt to USSR for MiGs, tanks, &c, or the debt to France for Mirage jets. Or that Kuwait was forced to pay annual Tribute, and when they refused were invaded. There is nothing "American" in that. Nothing.
That's the history and the facts.

We had hoped to gain our kidnapped Americans back from that Crazy Man who took then in Iran. An airline was hijacked and the head religious nut job from Iran was responsible.

They hoped to fuel the war between Iraq and Iran so that Iraq could check Iran's influence, who were considered the biggest enemies of the day.

They were hoping to fight a war by proxy. And just like every time the US fights a proxy-war they screwed it up and ended up creating their own enemies. Just like Osama in Afghanistan and countless other times in the past. I've said it before on these pages, history is our best guide to the future.

Since we were not blessed with the foresight and knowledge of so many people on here, we made a bad choice. Sadaam was the lesser of two evils between Iran and Iraq. He looked good on paper and since none of the critics on here were able to lend their vast amount of knowledge, the Government erred.

Protecting America's interests at that time. Hey, if you have the power via the wealth America has, you make the rules. No one said life was fair? He who has the wealth has the power that makes the rules.
