Saddam was the best dictator ally the US has had since Batista.
Daddy Bush really fucked up when he withdrew permission for Iraq to invade Kuwait.
Saddam was loyal, kept a secular state, the oil flowed, and he was willing to invade the enemies of the US for them.
They daddy betrayed him.
No wonder the arab world does not trust the Bush family. Except for the Saudi royal family, of course.
