Iran is hell bent on getting nuclear weopons, and will not hesitate to use them on us, directly or indirectly. Had both sides beat each other to death, we'd have so many fewer problems than we do now.

Brian, you use nuclear weopons "indirectly" by giving them to someone else, who will then use them.

I figured there would be at least a couple of geniuses saying we armed Saddam.
I was right. I invite all of them to go to WWW.Sipri.Org and see what countries actually supplied Saddam with his armament and weapons.
The USA is pretty far down the list, right even with Denmark, those noted arms suppliers to the world. Above the USA are Russia, Germany, and France, noted opposers of the war in Iraq and noted suppliers of both conventional and non-conventional arms to Iraq.

No that wouldnt make any sense, during the Iran Iraq war America was against Iran, but not against Iraq. So America wanted Iraq to win, they had no reason to give Iran weapons. (I am Iranian by the way) It just wouldnt make any sense to give them both weapons, America & Iran were not friends then, but America & Iraq were for the most part

We, through our elected representatives in Congress supplied Iraq with weapons legally. Ronald Reagan supplied Iran with weapons illegally as a payoff for freeing the hostages the Iranians took while Carter was president.

we provided Saddam with those very dirty chemical bombs we said he was going to use against us. We have had a failed policy of supporting countries and nations that we ended up throwing away when they had different ideas then ours and then blamed them for being a threat.
Who helped the Taliban's (which included Osama) against the soviet union in Afghanistan? we did
Who helped the Iraqi against Iran? We did
Who supported the Kurds against Saddam? We did
Who armed the Palestinians to fight off Hezbollah? We did
We spread our military support across the world for political reasons and we are surprised when those lunatics we support turn against us?
