Furthermore, this spans nearly thirty years. I'd imagine that in 2002 since we weren't friends with Iraq, we weren't selling them anything. How about a chart pre-"War with Iraq" for a bit more accuracy?

Well... the chart seems to include the years in which you're interested. It goes back to '73. Saddam Hussein assumed the presidency of Iraq in '79.

Do you think that a chart that only included the years through 1991 would look significantly different? After all, Iraq was firmly a client state of the Soviet Union for most of that time.

Why, I bet Chile was glad we overthrew their Democratic govermnent in '73 huh?

If you'd like, we can start a separate thread in which I will explain to you how Salvador Allende got exactly what he deserved. I'd be glad to help. I can see that history isn't your strongest subject.
