So right, on one side we are giving weapons to Iraq to fight, but on the other side our actions of overthrowing a democratically voted government in 1953 and instally the shah led to such shit happening, so in turn, we brought Iran into the limelight and gave Iraq "weapons" (you know what I mean) to fight them. Sounds to me like we are THOROUGHLY in the picture.
We were talking about Saddam in Iraq, put down the clicker and quite changing the channel
