Perhaps I misunderstood your perspective. I thought you were defending the dam-man. I would remind you that he was gassing the Kurds before the sanctions, so giving him access to more money may in fact be worse for the same people we are talking about. The one complaint I would agree with is that the US left the dam-man in power when they had him beat. This was done for several purely political reasons, as a balance to Iran, and to extract themselves from the perception of having put a puppet regime in place. I think they under estimated him badly. So in that sense I would agree that the US has a high degree of responsibility
