Worth remembering too that both Saddam & Osama were helped by the CIA. Saddam was in fact a CIA operative for a while. We (Brit & US) armed both Saddam & the Taliban in the 1980's against our then 'enemies' USSR & Iran. When Saddam gassed the curds, the US and Britain were still selling him weapons and did nothing to condemn the atrocities at the time. You reap what you sow. What will we be reeping in 15 years time after the current conflict I wonder.
