Zo Re..The wrong thing to do was to lose control of him and allow him to treat his people the way he has. That sums it up nicely. As long as Saddam kept it on the battlefield, and controlled our enemy, we could live with it. Gassing the Kurds went way over the line, and the US has been trying to control him ever since. Read your history........Saddam went after the Kurds in 1984; we continued to support him and give him goodies right up to his attack on Kuwait in 1991. And then when the Kurds rose up against him in 1992, an uprising alleged to have been encouraged by the CIA, we stood by and watched the Kurds get slaughtered. Control of Saddam only began in 1992........before that, Reagan and Bush Sr. considered him to be 'a special friend'. ted
