Iraq has used Russia for the overwhelming majority of its arms. We come in a pitiful third after France. We also helped the Soviet Union during WWII without any illusions as to the horribleness of Stalin. We had to defeat Hitler first. What is the point of of your comments?
My point is that we helped arm and support two of the three in the axis of evil. One of these coutries we have already defeated in war. But we left Saddam still in power. My point is that this country does not always do the smart thing. And as a result, people die and money is spent like it is water.
