The same country that we sided with during the Reagan Administration, when we could care less what Saddam Hussein did with those chemical weapons, rape rooms and mass graves.

Sure thing. I guess we shouldn't have courted Stalin as an ally to take out Hitler either...

And we didn't do 1/1,000,000,000th for Saddam as we did for Stalin.

So you want to compare our opposition to the Ayatollah in Iran with Hitler and Nazi Germany?

That’s an interesting comparison. Weak, but interesting.

In any case, the point was to illustrate how laughable it is whenever people use the ‘rape rooms and mass graves’ as our reason to invade Iraq. By immersing ourselves in the affairs of the Middle East by taking sides in the Iran-Iraq war, and aligning with the “lesser of two evils”, we failed to pay attention to the words of our Founders when they warned us against entangling alliances with foreign nations. We are paying for that mistake still today.
