Former President Reagan said Friday that his administration may have ''committed a boner'' by strengthening Saddam Hussein's military machine during its eight-year war with Iran.

But Reagan, speaking to a crowd of 10,000 at Brigham Young University, said supporting Iraq against Iran seemed the proper course at the time.

''I have to say we committed a boner with regard to Iraq and our close friendship with Iraq,'' said Reagan, invited to the Mormon-run school by its president, Rex E. Lee, who served as U.S. solicitor general from 1981 to 1985.

Reagan, 80, said after seeing evidence that Saddam had used poison gas on Kurdish tribesmen in Iraq, he began to realize Saddam was a potential threat to peace.
''What can you say to an independent country way off in the Middle East? I think we took action not to continue with supporting them,'' Reagan said.

Prior to his remarks on the Middle East, the crowd erupted in boos as two men holding a banner reading ''Why did you arm Iraq?'' were escorted out of the Marriott Center by university security officers.


Yes, I'm only posting this 26 year old article for its amusing headline.

Some of my dad's friends in the Iranian Air Force were killed during that war. If he hadn't defected to the US before then, he might have suffered the same fate.

This is the unusual reason many Persians and Kurds hate Reagan but love George Bush.
