no one has even given you the worst stuff so far for some reason?

  • after receiving reports that Saddam Hussein was using chemical weapons against his own people, Reagan funded... Saddam Hussein

  • and then after there was another attack on the Kurds, killing 5000 with a chemical weapon, Reagan swiftly went into action and... gave them more money and advice, AND vetod a UN resolution to condemn Hussein

  • he did make a law to make it illegal to do what he did in the last two points, but then not only continued to do it to break his own law, but broke it again in also selling weapons to Hussein's enemy in Iran. So now he's funding both sides of the war.

  • and then he did it again in selling weapons to Nicaragua

  • and then formed the Nicaraguan contra in order to help terrorists overthrow the democratic government

  • and did it again in Iran, which is what formed Al Qaeda.
