Don't forget that the Clinton administration also labled him as an evil man. Also Saddam was in power way befor the Iran Iraq war started.

Sure, Clinton labeled him an evil man, his actions as a man who murders his own citizens for a political agenda is evil.
I don't disagree Saddam is evil, because of actions as a oppressive dictator who crushes all opposition with lethal force and genocide.
What I disagree with is the US invading Iraq under the guise of "freeing" the Iraqi people.
If that's really why we went, we have quite a few more countries to unilaterally invade. North Korea and Cuba come immediately to mind.
I find it much more likely we invaded Iraq and are hunting down Saddam so the US can control Iraq's crude oil supply. And on a personal note Bush Jr is paying Saddam back for the attempted assassination of Bush Sr. And the assassination attempt on Bush Sr was payback for previous dealing that went sour between Saddam and Bush Sr which came to a head during the first Gulf War.

While this is true, it doesn't mean Saddam didn't become a puppet to the US for the purpose of a war with Iran. The Bush Sr and Saddam political relationship began during Reagan's presidency.
FYI, you all know Bush Sr was Director of the CIA before he became Vice President, right? Heard of Iran-Contra before?
The Bush family vendetta with Saddam is 2 decades old.
