We never supported Stalin in a war with another country I see this has been dealt with satisfactorily by another poster.

We never were able to get the Soviets to do our bidding. The same is true of Saddam.

In the case of Saddam he was in the position of asking the US for permission. That would be a puppet. He even asked for permission to invade Kuwait. Many think Saddam thought he had our permission in a defacto manner, as the ambassador relayed that the US took no exception to his invasion.

That's ridiculous. Saddam and the State Dept. misread one another's intentions as should be evident based on the immediate American reaction to his invasion.

I'm posting the truth on Memorial Day

You white-washed Saddam and said the US, not him, were responsible for his crimes against the Iraqi people:

No the Iraqi people were the innocent victims of our aggression not Saddam. Just as they were the victims of our supporting Saddam and allowing him to become the tyrant in the first place.

That was a despicable anti-American lie.
