Yes the sound reasons were the reason he got away with being a mass murderer with the US goverments help.
The US was anti Iran, because they had thrown out a dictator friendly to the US and captured the US Embassy hostages. The US also did not want Iraq's oil in the hands of the Mullahs. The Iranians are now our friends.
So they supported Saddam while he murdered millions.
It's not too difficult to understand for most of us, just fools like you seem unable to grasp it.
