Myeyepie, we did that in the 80's man.  How soon we all forget.  We funded, armed, and propped up this guy named Saddam as he waged war on Iran for almost a decade.  Remember?  It didn't work out so well for us did it?  Our foreign policy is INSANE and needs to change.  We're currently propping an unelected military dictator in Pakistan who ALREADY has a nuke.  When will we learn?
