you really do like to make up your onw deluded version of histroy don't you
From the mid 1950's relationships between Iran and the US were strained at best
While at the same tiem Iraq and Saddam were seen as a friend in the region
The late 70's relationships between Iran and the US became even more tense and the 1979 Iran revolution and US hostage crisis lead to the US seeing Iran as a threat and imposed sanctions on the country
All this was PRIOR to the Iran Iraq war and while Iraq was still viewed by the US as the good guys.
It was the Iran revolution and the rise of fundamentalism in Iran that lead to the Iran Iraq war which did not start until 1980
fundamentalism that was seen to be a threat by most in the ME and the US
Just proves how completely foolish your claim of Iraq attacking neighbors who were friends of the West are.
