You are making up your own history. When Saddam came to power,
he seized western property and murdered westerners, especially
Americans, and you lot cheered him to an echo. Saddam was
always an enemy of the west, he was never a good guy. He was
at times an ally, in the sense that Stalin and Pol Pot were at
times temporary allies, yet somehow I never see you fans of
slavery and mass murder criticizing the west for allying with
Stalin.
Evil men, by their nature, find themselves in conflict with
other evil men for the same reasons as good men do. Thus evil
men and good men will often find themselves in a temporary
alliance of convenience against a common enemy, an alliance
that both sides know will end in war or near war fairly soon.
This however seldom leads good men to mistake evil men for
'good guys"
