Yes but what was not brought to surface was that we were willing to do anything to keep Saddam in power so as to stop Iran. The same reasoning went for letting Saddam kill thousands upon thousands of civilians after the Gulf war.

Now here we are a dozen years later complaining that he has weapons we sold him and that he killed civilians that we let him. Seems perverse. So long as we do not acknowledge that short sighted policies of the past do not work, we are doomed to be in a self-perpetuating crisis management mode.
