(31,493 posts)there wouldn't be an Isis. (hind sight puff) Ruthless as Saddam was he did keep his country in check. (I'll bet more young black men have been killed by the pigs since then than the people who died from Saddam gassing people) Helping them win the war with Iran would have at least subdued one of the Bush axis's of evil. Should the US be ashamed it helps the Saddam types now ...after it has always given its support to whoever gives the us a strategic advantage? I know ...I am saying we are dirty and been dirty going back to at least Kissinger and then Reagan. This is not a Superman tv show where "truth justice and the American way" as it was supposed ...prevails. IMO the biggest mistake this country has made is to not follow the warnings from the past from those who knew about the MIC's ideas and goals. We can be a country of war but we will never be a country of peace. Just look at Ferguson. That's what a country who's economy would fail without war turns into.
