Of course you also gave Saddam and the Iraqis every reason to trust and love the US when you went ahead and sold the same weaponry to Iran.

I have always found it tragicomic that the two most hated nations in the "axis of evil" were perfectly acceptable to deal with when there was a chance to make a profit. Never mind the fact that it made the war bloodier and last longer than it might have otherwise.
