Oh, and by the way, Bush didn't invade Iraq to bring them "democracy", he
invaded Iraq because, according to Bush, Iraq was an "imminent threat" to
the US.

Besides, when it was to their advantage, the Reagan and Bush one
administrations were helping to supply Saddam with the WMD that he was
using to annihilate his own people, this at a time when the US congress was
trying to apply sanctions to block any funding and weapons that Saddam was
trying to acquire

And who came to Saddam's rescue?
