That's BS. Anti-Americans say the CIA is responsible for overthrowing EVERY regime that falls in the unstable ME.
I didn't confuse Iraq and Iran in my last post. I mentioned both of them since you claimed we'd wronged both countries whom you think are innocents that've never harmed us:
Iran and Iraq have solid grievances against the US. We have almost nothing on them.
Like I pointed out: Iran kidnapped and held hostage our diplomats and other citizens, then they had Hezbollah kidnap a bunch of Americans in Lebanon and hold them hostage.
In addition, Saddam gave safe haven to a wide array of terrorists, including the guy who built the bomb used in the first WTC bombing:
Saddam supported lots of terrorists and offered them safe haven in Iraq. One of them was the guy who made the bomb used in the first WTC bombing (1993), Abdul Rahman Yasin. The lead terrorist there was Ramzi Yousef, who entered the US on an Iraqi passport, his bombmaker escaped to his home country, Iraq and was sheltered there. When AQ was kicked out of Sudan, Saddam offered them haven in his country, but they chose Afghanistan as it was more inland and thus thought to be safer from American attack.
There is more, but I'm not going to dig for it now. Even this lamebrain admitted the obvious:
"Saddam has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al-Qaida members."
