Yes, Saddam brutalized and murdered his political enemies, but the worst mass atrocity in Iraq was probably the gassing of thousands of Kurds before the first Gulf War (or maybe it was Iran who did the gassing, or both). Reagan armed both Iran and Iraq (not with the gas).

The subsequent No-Fly Zone in the northern provences effectively ended Saddam's attacks against the Kurds and Shias in the region.
