Why didn't he want a ruthless dictator like Saddam to lose to Iran?

It wouldn't have been in the US interest or the interests of most of the rest of the world for that to happen. Iran would have dominated the Persian Gulf, if it overwhelmingly won and put a puppet government over Iraq or annexed Iraqi territory. Perhaps such an overwhelming win wasn't likely but a smaller scale win, while it would have smaller negatives, wouldn't have had that much in the way of positives. What good would have come from Iran winning the war?
