>>Saddam was a creation not of the left, but of the right. He was armed and financed to fight the Iranian Fundamentalists...
That was a good thing at the time, wasn't it? Otherwise Iran might have conquered Iraq back then and have had the combined oil revenue and population of Iran/Iraq since the 1980s. What would it be like if Iran had conquered Iraq in the '80s? (A sci-fi exercise comparable to _The Man in the High Castle_.)
