    why does america sell weapons and equipment for making such to israel pakistan and india, all 3 who havent signed the non proliferation treaty, and are then surprized iran wants to have nukes? why is it ok for these others to have them and not iran?
    pakistan and india have come close to nuking each other, wasnt it irresponsible for the west to help these countries in that way?

      Immediately after the take over of power from the Shah of Iran, Islamic fundamentalists headed by Ayatollah Khomeini demanded that all wealth transferred from Iran to USA by the Shah be returned. To push their demands, nearly 50 American tourists were held hostage by Iran. A lot of effort to release the hostages by USA proved futile. On the 444th day, on the day when Ronald Reagan assumed presidency, they were released in exchange for the gold deposited by the Shah. To punish Iran for this, with all the American weapons, Iraq's Saddam Hussein invaded Iran on the pretext of gaining supremacy in the Persian Gulf.... ie., Iraq's Saddam Hussein on behalf of USA started the first Gulf War.

    And after the service that Sadam gave to the States and the Iraqi army lost hundreds of thousands of its soldiers , Sadam was rewarded by  a war that is not finished , over a million  Iraqi killed . over a million refugees , god knows how many injured ,  also over 4 thousands American soldiers lost their
    lives , 30 thousands injured  , at a cost to the tax payer money
    of more than 800 billions . What is your comment on that ???
       Oh I forgot Sadam rewards also included his trial and hanging.

    Shall we reward him for the tasteful style with which he decorated his rape and torture rooms?

    Not at all , but you skipped the first part of the question
    if the objective was to remove Sadam , it could have been done
    with less disastrous cost to lives and money
