Ah yes, that memory problem. I just had a rather interesting conversation with my manager where I actually had to enlighten her as to who installed and gave Saddam weapons in the first place, because, by God, we'd rather have a dictator than an ayatollah...

/me resists the urge to bring up Noriega and a handful of other dictators we've installed over the years because at the time they seemed preferable to communists or religion-vendors
