You've posted US aid to Saddam several times except you don't post it in the context of reality - a reality in which other countries armed Saddam heavily and much much more as the US backed away (arms like the Osirak nuclear reactor which Israel was forced to destroy). But hey let's stop talking about what this was in context of, let's make no mention of countries like France, and let's just attack the US because that is our goal here.
And, yes, there was a reason why all those countries supported Iraq then.

Is Rumsfeld one of those oh so moral people? because he didn't seem to mind the genocidal regieme when he was working for Reagan...
UPI reported from the United Nations: “Mustard gas laced with a nerve agent has been used on Iranian soldiers in the 43-month Persian Gulf War between Iran and Iraq, a team of U.N. experts has concluded... Meanwhile, in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, U.S. presidential envoy Donald Rumsfeld held talks with Foreign Minister Tarek Aziz (sic) on the Gulf war before leaving for an unspecified destination.”
On March 23rd (the day before Rumsfeld's visit) the Iranian News Agency reported:
"that Iraq launched another chemical weapons assault on the southern battlefront, injuring 600 Iranian soldiers"
