The genocidal dictator we sold weapons to?
We sold agricultural anthrax for the vaccination of cattle. If we did not provide the vaccinations, we would have been responsible for the starvation of thousands. Saddam weaponized the vaccine and let people starve.

Now, what is inexcusable is our suport of Iraq and Iran according to whoever was losing, for the purpose of destabilizing the region during the early and mid 80s; however, recently our policy has changed to one of stabilization instead (thankfully).


ps. I actually don't feel bad for this double-post.
