You claimed we "created" SAddam . That's a lie.
Of course Sadam had parents etc.

I don't know if you remember April Glaspee (SP??). She was the Ambassador to Iraq under Bush one. en.wikipedia.org . There are over tones of putting a woman in a position of authority in that part of the wrold. There is reason to believe Bush set up Sadam, eg; conversation that indicated Sadam was the strong man in the area ... There was brief speculation at the time, but events move past that rather quickly. I don't think Sadam would have invaded Kuwait if he thought Bush one would use it as an excuse to invade his homeland.

For a long time Sadam was considered a tool in sometime about the end of the cold war.

Just from memory.

In the summer of 1990, concerns were growing that Saddam Hussein, who was massing troops near the border with Kuwait, was preparing an all-out invasion. U.S. Ambassador to Iraq April Glaspie met with Saddam Hussein on July 25, 1990 to convey the United States’ position. While she did not have a demarche from Washington, she reiterated U.S. policy that border disputes should be resolved peacefully. However, her meeting did not forestall an Iraqi invasion; Saddam invaded just a few days later, on August 2.

Soon thereafter and several years since the end of the Gulf War, Ambassador Glaspie was widely blamed for allowing or even encouraging an Iraqi invasion. The New York Times on September 23, 1990 quotes Glaspie as saying, “We have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait.
