Hey Asshole! If it was wrong to ally ourselves with Saddam in the 80's in his war against Iran (Which killed 200 Marines in Lebanon in '82), then by your logic, it was also wrong to ally ourselves with Stalin after Hitler invaded Russia in 1941.

I fail to even begin to see the comparisons between the two events. Nice name calling BTW

Perhaps you've heard of the expression: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend?"

"I fail to even begin to see the comparisons between the two events."

You are claiming that it was immoral for the United States to support Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war because Saddam was a brutal dictator.

But Stalin was a brutal dictator, and yet no one claims that Stalin being a mass murderer should have prevented us from Alligning ourselves with the USSR after Hitler invaded Russia.

Taking your logic to it's logical conclusion, if it was wrong to form an alliance with Saddam against Iran, then it was ALSO wrong to ally ourselves with Stalin against Hitler.
