U.S. support for Iraq under Saddam
It's widely thought (but rarely if ever mentioned in the corporate media) that Saddam was tried and executed for the Dujail deaths in order to preclude trials in which U.S. complicity with his regime would be exposed. But it looks like the U.S. isn't completely off the hook:
Majlis Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel said on Wednesday that Iran will take legal action to seek reparations for damages of the US-backed Iraqi invasion imposing eight years of destructive war on Iran.
Haddad-Adel told reporters, "Iran has repeatedly announced that end of Saddam's life will not put an end to series of his crimes then backed by the United States."
