Actually, Richnorth is not that far off in his analysis of why Iraq was involved in wars with Iran and Kuwait.

It is well documented that the U.S. was quite concerned about Iranian fundamentalism and "tilted" towards Iraq during the Iraq/Iran war, supplying Iraq with intelligence and arms, including it's initial WMDs.

Who can forget Ambassador April Gillipse's statement to Saddam that the U.S. had no interest in Iraq's dispute with Kuwait regarding border issues, well drilling or debts owed to Kuwait by Iraq... debts Iraq incurred during the Iraq/Iran war for which Saddam felt he should not have to repay because he "contained" Iranian fundamentalism for the benefit of, among others, the "ungrateful" Kuwaitis.
