I understand your need for blind patriotism, but let's be realists here. The US
supported Iraq. They basicly handed Saddam the gun and said, "Here, shoot thousands of your people."
So how again is the US so great in their handeling of Iraq? You kid only yourself if you say the US did all of this to help the Iraqi peoples. That is just icing on the cake. An added bonus, a bit of marketing spin to help sell the war.
You're right, "gun" isn't the right word. The word is gas. They basicly handed him the gas and said, "Kill your people. We like you. We hate your enemies."
Saddam's only problem was that we no longer hated his enemies so we could afford to not like him any more.
