That was the right thing to do. The wrong thing to do was to lose control of him and allow him to treat his people the way he has.

I think we live and learn. Hopefully, we are more careful today about who we share technology with.

But it is absurd to suggest that the United States was somehow complicit since one of its "allies" (or as you say, the lesser of two evils) overnight became an enemy.
