Quote:OK, so blame the Americans for everything Sadaam did. I wonder why the Americans saved Kuwait and Saudi Arabia from Sadaam's henchmen in the 1st Gulf War???
Do you also blame the Americans for the Taliban's starving of their subjects?
Lets also blame America for Kim Jong Il's killing of his people too. I guess nobody in this fallen world would be raped or murdered if America didn't exist.
We need to be more politically astute/aware and as we are muslims we see events from a specific angle, the angle of our aqeedah i.e. creed.
Initially it was a geo-political struggle between Britain and America and the America trying to obtain a military presence in the region.
In his early twenties, Saddam was recruited to kill Iraqi prime minister Abd al-Karim Qasim who was a British agent.
Once the minister was killed, the CIA men gave the Baathist hierarchy lists of names who were working under British influence, whom they rounded up and murdered to rid Iraq of British influence. A former senior U.S. State Department official said: "We were frankly glad to be rid of them." Saddam became head of the Baathist intelligence apparatus.
The objective of the "first" gulf war between Iraq and Iran was to create instability in the middle east. This was furthered by Khoemeni's threat to the region that he would spread the revolution across the region.
According to documents unearthed from the Reagan era, we know that Reagan sent Donald Rumsfeld to Baghdad to egg on the dictator in his war with Iran. At the time, the U.S. provided Saddam with loans, military intelligence, and other assistance.
It was anticipated or hoped that the Arab regimes would run to the US for help and assistance. But this did not work to plan.
Then came the invasion of Kuwait which proved a success for the Americans. Sadam, under the instructions of his pay masters invaded Kuwait and the Arab regimes asked America for support. From then on America has a physical presence in the middle east.
I hope you understand as some events are difficult to comprehend if we do not think independantly.
