Well, Saddam was backed and supported by the USA in the war against Iran. This was also when he gassed the Kurds, no one raised a fuss then about that. At the end of the Gulf War, Iraqi's were encouraged to revolt by the Bush Sr. admin with promised American aid, but when they did they recieved no help from Bush Sr. Saddam moved south, crushed that revolt, then moved North and eliminated the northern one...

That is patently false, why do you say things if you don't know them to be true? Did you not hear of the no fly zones over N and S Iraq which the AMERICANS invested their time and money to protect the Kurds from their own president who was systematically killing them? Note that there were no French or Russians helping with this, only the UK.
