What's with "our allies were starting to do business with him again"?? There some gripe about being left out?
What "your allies" did not do is "use" Saddam to do their dirty work in assasinating democratically elected members of other governments, supply him with arms to fight more wars (with Iran), and support his rise to power - when it suited.

He had ties to "terrorists" orgs and was open about it. I have been an advocate for taking down Saddam within the first year of the cease fire agreements that he immediately broke. The US did not supply him with any arms other than a few rotary wing aircraft (not gunships) and indirectly with some cluster bombs...during the Iran/Iraq war. His weapons of war were supplied primarily by Russia...some by France...and some by Germany.
