I dont think that. I think now they are trying to cover their asses, but not necessarily regretful. I say that b/c of what I said earlier, they knew all along way back when, that it wasnt a good idea.
So why not help the enemy of the enemy. Then at the same time, still helping the enemy.
I personally think that the US was hoping each country would desimate each other and each country would be so weak after the war finally ended that nothing could come up.
So they were correct with Iran, but they underestimated Saddam and Iraq.
So like I said, I dont personally think they wish they never got involved, but more-so that they thought they could have their cake and eat it too.
One thing that still remains a question to me though. Why was all of this chemical warfare fine and dandy untill 91?
Then fine for another 12 years.
