We didn't give the same dollar value in weapons to Saddam. A MiG is worth much much more than a strain of anthrax.
But in terms of devestation and what Saddam used to brutally kill people with, we are the main culprit.
We supplied him with:
Anthrax, Botulism, Megaterium, Bacillus Subtilis, Brucella, Cholera, E Coli, Bhania Virus, Dongua Virus, Hazara Virus, Kemeroud Virus, Langat Virus, Sandfly Fever, Sindbis Virus, Tahyna Virus, Thgoto Virus, West Nile Virus.

We shipped them mustard gas components right after they had finished killing over 40,000 people with the stuff, that we knew of.

This mustard gas that WE shipped them is one of the weapons Saddam used to create the corpses that fill the mass graves that we are so outraged over now.
We enabled them throughout the 1980's to continue it by beating back the UN who tried numerous times to censure Iraq for its use of WMD.

And finally we gave them the green light to start the first Gulf War.

No, strictly on the weight of capital, we didn't "arm saddam". But in terms of lethality, Saddams known use, and brutalness. America
armed Saddam.
France, Russia, America. All bastards.
But all I care about is America, because this is my country. And this is the one I can help change directly. We gave weapons knowingly, we gave them the tools to kill hundreds of thousands.
That's what I really care about.
