Just to put things into perspective, this would have been smack in the middle of Ayatollah Khomeini's anti-US "Great Satan" campaign and the Iran Iraq War. The US' relationship with Iraq seems to have been more a result of the precarious logic of "my enemy's enemy is my friend".

On the other hand, what was France's and Europe's rush to snuggle up to Saddam back in 1975? Hint: it's slimey.

These 2 things are slightly not alike.
