We had Saddam boxed in - no fly zones to the North and south of Bahgdad, Kurds controlling the North.
Saddam had some chemical weapons - ones WE sold him!!!
No missiles, no nukes - no threat.
Saddam himself HATED by Al Quaida, hated by Islamists - he was a SECULAR dictator.
The neocons and their supporters seemed to forget that Saddam was OUR boy in the 80's.
It's like Orwell's "1984"...

So - we didn't have Saddam boxed in?
We never sold/gave him chemical weapons - US companies, that is?
Osama never volunteered to have Al Quaida get Iraq out of Kuwait?
SAddam never repressed the mullahs in Iraq?
Baath party was not secular?

"Boxed in" what? Do you really believe the no fly zones stopped him from killing Iraqi's - funneling money for suicide bombers in Israel?

To go off on some self flagellation that the U.S. was the only source of all that was neocon evil is ludicrous. A great portion of the the chemical technology came from these countries: Russia, China, Germany, and France.

The Iran/Iraq war was a freakin testing ground paradise for East Weaponry Vs. West. Throw in countries such as Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, Libya, North Korea, checkoslovakia, and Israeli ....you'll find quite a few countries sticking their finger trying to make an extra buck.

When Saddam provided a report to the UN (2002) that listed the corporations and countries that provided chemical technology to Iraq - the U.S. didn't even make the supply list. Did he forgot about the U.S. being his sugar daddy?

Even if we did make the list - the largest suppliers of materials for chemical WMDs came from Singapore, Netherlands, Egypt, India, and Germany.

As far as Saddam and his relationship with the Iraqi's - he suppressed anybody within his reach (regardless of faith) after the JFK CIA gave him the green light to throw his little coup.
