I have said and will keep saying - the US needs to maintain a consistant foreign policy that has a higher standard of moral values. We should never support one evil to fight another. It was not morally correct interests to sell weapons to Iran to fight secret wars in central America. Afganistan was not quite as clear because we assumed we were supporting local rebels. I disagreed with it at the time because the US wanted to protect our backyard but we condemned the Soviets doing the same thing. As far calling Saddam a murderer. He killed his own brother, sons-in-law, held a government session and had dozens killed on the spot, he personally shot a military officer, he used prisoners to experiment with germ and nerve agents, he used banned weapons on the Kurds and on the Iranians, he drained the marshes to destroy the home of the Arabs in the southern areas, he caused the biggest oil spill in history, he attacked Kuwait, etc. I think Saddam ranks in the top 20 list of scoundrals who walked the face of the earth.
