No difference really.:? Iraq lost the war with Iran with Americas support.
Iran never invaded Iraq, so history would not have been any different. Just the war would have been shorter.

All America did was help turn him into what he became.


Ask any Iraqi and he will tell you "Lost? We won the war!"


Now, should we blame Brit/France for creating Hitler?




What did Iraqi achieve from attacking Iran? :roll: Nothing!! ! That is why Saddam attacked Kuwait, he had to have something to show for it.

Since when did Brit/France support Hitler? :lol:


this may be nonsense, but i distictly remember reading something a number of years ago that suggested iraq attacked kuwait as the kuwaitis were drilling oil reserves that actually lay under iraqi territory.

I actually don't like wikipedia. Some of their articles are very biased, or rather culturally unaware/insensitive.
