Saddam Hussein must have shed a few tears this weekend for the death of his old friend Reagan.

It was Reagan, after all, who helped him secure power in Iraq.

Technically it was Reagan's Puppet-master Bush Sr. that put Saddam in power. Ronald Reagen made precious few actual decisions as President. I know for a fact that the whole king-making of Saddam Hussein, in order to attack Iran, was a 100% Bush project. So there you go...

...btw, why do you think Sr., in 1991, stopped after liberating Kuwait? Because he was the one who put the man in power and all of his advisers told him that if you take down Saddam you would have some kind of fundamentalist gov't that would be more difficult for the US to handle fill the power vacuum. I guess it just goes to show that Jr. is actually far more stupid than his dad!

Ssssshhhhhh. You're not supposed to reveal commonly known (and readily available) bits of historical info. You wouldn't want to rob the plebes of their time for watching survivor and other reality tv shows.
