 Saddam was a Good Guy, then became a Bad Guy.
Ghaddafi was Bad Guy, then a Good Guy, and then a Bad Guy again.

I have no doubt the US will anoint Assad as a Good Guy at some point.

I read the book.

Pretty good lesson in what happens when a nation gets involved in civil wars.

Did they ever find all those missing Stingers?

No, I don't have to admit Saddam was the only thing keeping Iran in line.
I see no evidence that Iran was out of line except mistreating its own people and taking US diplomats hostage.

Given what the US did to Iran in supporting the Shah, their displeasure was understandable.

The US encouraged Saddam to attack Iran resulting in the pointless deaths of hundreds of thousands.

That's the problem with supporting bad guys. They kill a lot of people.

Look at East Timor as another example.

To my everlasting shame, Canada was with the US in backing the Indonesian military on that one.
