Amazing how history looks different if you only tell one side and remove all context. A full accounting would of course require a goodly stack of history texts and global newspapers, but here's a 5 second primer:

"1982:U.S. provides billions in aid to Saddam Hussein for weapons to kill Iranians."
All true, but one shouldn't ignore that the amount of Soviet military equipment provided to Iraq made the American contribution almost irrelevant by comparison. Any criticism of America for aiding Saddam needs to go 10 times over for Soviet aid.

"1990: Iraq invades Kuwait with weapons from U.S."
As above, they also used 10 times as much Soviet provided equipment. The wording implies that the invasion of Kuwait was somehow approved of by the U.S....

"1991: U.S. enters Iraq...Bush reinstates dictator of Kuwait."
Wow, that sounds like Saddam "liberated" the Iraqi province of Kuwait from a dictator and then the U.S. was the aggressor coming in and invading the Iraqi province of Kuwait... No comment.

"1998:Clinton bombs weapon factory in Sudan...Factory turns out to be making aspirin."
Actually, my understanding was that the factory produced much more important medicine than just aspirin. Things like anti-biotics for which many died for the want of.

"1991 to present: American planes bomb Iraq on a weekly basis."
Actually, the no fly zone enforced over Iraq had a less sinister purpose. It was to prevent Saddam from repeating his genocidal "Al-Anfal Campaign". Look it up, dropping VX gas on villages is pretty ugly and I think it's sick to make out like the American no fly zone preventing that kind of thing was an imperialistic maneuver.
