Great question, Fred!

When Iraq invaded Iran in 1980, the US opposed a UN resolution condemning Iraq's invasion. Further, the US at that time took Iraq off its list of nations supporting terrorism and opened up arms transfers to Saddam Hussein's government. Making matters worse, in 1985, the US secretly provided arms to Iran directly and that, of course, is how Ollie North ultimately endedup with a FoxNews show!

Nice, huh! Indeed, with a record of behavior as shown above perhaps the very best thing the US should do is leave Iraq alone, and concentrate on more serious matters manifest on the front burner.
