Oh yeah, those Iranian loving Saudi's of yours were involved too.....

Only generous financial support from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the other Gulf states, who feared the consequences of an Iranian victory saved Iraq from bankruptcy
And whom gave them wheapons after the war got under way? Everybody...using Saudi money.....

In January 1983, an Iraqi-Soviet arms deal was signed in Moscow, which led to the Soviet Union supplying Iraq with T-62 and T-72 tanks; Mig-23 and Mig-25 jets; and SS-21 and Scud-B missiles.[82] By 1987, the Soviet Union had provided Iraq with 800 T-72 tanks, and dozens upon dozens of modern fighters and bombers.[82] Between 1980–82, France had supplied Iraq with $5.6 billion worth of weapons such as fighters, tanks, self-propelled guns and helicopters.
The US provided intelligence and mostly non-military stuff like trucks. The intel was really key in terms of the Iraqis being able to bombard massing iranian forces.

You knowledge of military aircraft is neat. How old are you?
I was referring to the overseeing of military technology transfers to Iraq in support of their war with Iran. The USA did that.
Nobody is talking about your military toys you know the names of...LOL
Iran is run by crazy people that make Dennis Kucinich and Newt look sane.
You prefer Israel just start nuking them to stop their craziness? Once Iran has nukes it is a matter of time before one magically appears in Lebanon to be strapped to a small rocket for a trip into Israel.
I don't think so. Pakistan also has nuclear bombs, and lots of radicals and nuts, still both the Indians (there are also Hindu radicals and nationalists that are not much better than their Muslim counterparts) and the Pakistanis have refrained from using them.
The very fact that for whatever odd reason only some countries are allowed to have such weapons and can thus bully the rest, forces countries sick of being bullied to get those weapons themselves as they are an insurance policy.
Yea, i kinda had a feeling that Iran would really go nuclear crazy once their citizens had a feeling that their nuke program is under siege.
We're going to have to live with a nuclear Iran, so we may as well get used to it.
Yep the sooner they get the better. They are a country with 74 million people threatened by one of the most aggressive, bigoted Nation on earth. Iran is more than twice the size of Iraq. 6.2 Million Jews are not going to dictate the policies of a country that large in area and populace. It's not viable in the long run. Despite how tough and macho they think they are.

Good post.
I would comment that Nukes are also a burden as well as an insurance policy. Your comments, behaviors etc. as a nation carry a lot more weight and as such it can be a burden too.
