In this case, we slaughtered the pig who chose war with us. I doubt Churchill spent much mental energy worrying about this while the war was on.

Doesn't answer the question as to who was worse.

And how does that explain the relevance? Just sounds snitty.

Disappointing response. I was perhaps too subtle. Returning to your original question... When revolutionary Iran seemed in danger of overwhelming Iraq, we provided Iraq with limited assistance. What is the relevance of that today?

When you prolong a conflict by supplying arms to both countries in that conflict you ultimately make enemies [or increase the emnity] of both countries. You should expect that both countries will be problems in the future. Is that you wish to accomplish as part of your foreign policy?

Best I've been able to tell is that the Shah or Iran was far worse to his countries people than Castro ever was in Cuba. Yet, we supported the Shah and want Castro overthrown. Make a checklist of what we claim our "values" to be and then look at who we support.
