Anyone care to guess which Superpower was most helpful in Saddam Hussein early days?

Anybody care to say which side the US backed in the Iraq-Iran war?

Shortsightedness is not only a problem that other countries have. The US is a grand practioner of it. Of course, it's always easier to see what should have been done years later.

There's an even better example in a country only 90 miles from our Shores- we were very responsible for Castro gaining control in Cuba. That worked out well for us , didn't it?

We have a long history of helping people who are as bad or worse than the other guy's despot. Many of our allies and countries we support are Democracies in theory only.
