Again, you are showing your ignorance.
So Saddam was a mass murderer, he was committing genocide against the Kurds, yet you say we should not have gone in to Iraq, yet some claim we supplied the weapons.
was committing should be changed to committed, not only the Kurds but also the Shiaa in the south and whom ever opposed him. However the genocide against the Kurds was committed with US helicopters and chemicals. Those helicopters and chemicals were sold to Iraq as agricultural equipment through the US defense department and the CIA. (wink wink) Since the US can not sell military equipment to Iraq, they arranged financing under agriculture aid package. (“They” means the defense department and the CIA.) The aim is to use the chemical against the Iranians, however, he needed to test the effectiveness of that new weapon, at that time a Kurdish uprising was brewing, well, you know the rest.
Now I ask you, were was the US' moral responsibility? The US wanted Saddam to use the chemical on Iran. This also does not make right.
