Re: Saddam Hussein and "Enemy of my enemy... etc -Reply

I think that was the US gov. line regarding their assistance to
Saddam _before_ the Gulf War: the enemy of Iran is the friend of the
US.

Of course, that's when the US wasn't secretly kissing up to Iran in
order to fund the counter-revolution in Nicaragua, or wait, maybe
that was at the same time...  whatever.

I'm picking one small item out of Jerry's posting on slanders etc.,
that in which he says the argument that "the enemy of my enemy is my
friend" has been applied to Saddam Hussein.
This seems balderdash: I do not know of anyone I have met in person
or in print who had much good to say of Hussein <snip>
