Re: Kissinger of Death
[ QUOTE ]
The truth, of course, is that, at the time, the United States regarded the radical regime in Tehran as Enemy Number One and wanted to see it defeated in the Iraq-Iran war, and if possible eliminated totally. This is why the U.S. propped up Saddam Hussein's regime repeatedly during the war, sometimes offering direct help. [/ QUOTE ] Don't be so naive Cyrus. If the United States wanted Iraq to win the Iran-Iraq war it would have happened. We wanted a stalemate and thats exactly what we got. Stu

Ever since installing Shah Pahlevi in 1953, assisting the Ba'athists chase the "Arab Left", guiding SAVAK in the elimination of the secular Itanian opposition and spawning the muslim jihadists in Afghanistan, the United States has been guiding developments in the fertile crescent with clarity of purpose and a sure hand. Who's being naive here ?

Stu [/ QUOTE ] If US would actively attack Iran, Iraq would have won. However, it is not certain that even if the US wanted Iraq to win and provided military and financial support that it would be sufficient. Remember that you had one army (Iraqis) who suffered from lack of motivation battling a near-fanatic army (Iranians).
