The US was a huge fan of Saddam, they provided him with a lot of weapons to fight Iran and to gas the Kurds. They were also quite happy with Assad when they were sending people there from the war on terror to be tortured after 9/11. Assad even warned the U.S. about a plot to blow up a US destroyer. Relations deteriorated after Bush went after Iraq again for no reason.

The armchair analysts guarding HN's comment boxes should spend their efforts worrying about ID tagged pull requests. This is yet another example of when a programmer site jumps the shark. PS: programmers are good at programming. Not at all things thinking-related. Which this community shows countless times again.
