| #6 Yeah, I was waiting for that too, BaR! I always get pissed (and, heck, I was around 10 years old at the time) when people look at lines like that and say "See, the U.S. creates it's own monsters!" You've gotta take that action (selling weaponry to Iraq) in context of the time the decision was made! For pete's sake, I was 10 at the time, and can see why he did what he did (we'd just gotten our hostages home from Tehran). |

| #5 At least we sold it to him instead of giving it away for free like technology to the chinese in exchange for campaign contributions. |

| #3 The jailed former Iraqi leader described how Mr Reagan, who was president during the time of Iraq's 1980-88 war with Iran, sold him planes and helicopters. There it is, right out of the horse's mouth. So, anyone still feel like reciting the U.S.-armed-Saddam routine again? |

| #1 Praise bounteous providence if you will that grants even an ogre a tiny glow-worm tenderness encapsulated in icy caverns of a cruel heart or else despair for in every germ of that kindred love is lodged the perpetuity of evil. -Chinua Achebe |
