Seeing the current massacre in Syria, i would not complain if he US went in.
Yeh But the Americans supplied Sadaam with the chemical weapons that he killed his own people with - which is like someone giving a teenager a gun to go and shoot a gang member, supplying a gun is a criminal offence.

A 1994 congressional inquiry also found that dozens of biological agents, including various strains of anthrax, had been shipped to Iraq by US companies, under licence from the commerce department.
Furthermore, in 1988, the Dow Chemical company sold $1.5m-worth (£930,000) of pesticides to Iraq despite suspicions they would be used for chemical warfare.

Also the Americans gave weapons to the Mudja Hadeen in the 80's to help them fight the Communist Soviets! Who then once the Russians left Afghanistan started fighting each other and out of that came Al Qaeda! So effectively the Americans armed terrorists - and here we go again!
