From Iraq, Reagan didn't look so freedom-loving

It will be odd for Iraqis to watch TV tonight (power cuts permitting)
and hear the eulogies to freedom-loving Ronald Reagan at his state
funeral. The motives behind US policy towards their country have
always been a mystery, and if Iraqis sometimes explain to westerners
that Saddam Hussein was a CIA agent whose appointed task was to
provoke an American invasion of Iraq, it is largely thanks to Reagan's
legacy.
