exactly you have nothing to say about my comment about how the U.S gave the means to use chemical weapons to a country.
In December 2002, Iraq's 1,200 page Weapons Declaration revealed a list of Eastern and Western corporations and countries, as well as individuals, that exported a total of 17,602 tons of chemical precursors to Iraq in the past two decades. By far, the largest suppliers of precursors for chemical weapons production were in Singapore (4,515 tons), the Netherlands (4,261 tons), Egypt (2,400 tons), India (2,343 tons), and Federal Republic of Germany (1,027 tons). One Indian company, Exomet Plastics (now part of EPC Industrie) sent 2,292 tons of precursor chemicals to Iraq. The Kim Al-Khaleej firm, located in Singapore and affiliated to United Arab Emirates, supplied more than 4,500 tons of VX, sarin, and mustard gas precursors and production equipment to Iraq.
Therefore every single time u wish to bring up Iran as evil and as a terrorist to make your Israel look perfect, I will simply bring up the fact that the U.S has done 100000x more harm than Iran has ever done in it's history.
so go on blabber on.. continue to "your signature has errors in it BS". If you think your level of education is higher than mine I laugh at you.

I pointed out that the USA wasn't the only country that sold weapons to Iraq

You keep on going on how evil the USA is, while it was Iraq's leadership the one that chose to use the weapons -- weapons and ingredients that were not necesserialy from the USA. You talk as if the USA was on a mission to equip Iraq with chemical weapons so they will be fired at Iranian civilians as soon as possible (as if they cannot be used against miliatry targets).
I don't know why you keep bringing up Hezbollah as if it is a valid example. You talk about them as if they are defending something -- "so Israel won't win"; won't win what? what has Hezbollah been defending since Israel pulled out?
Fact of the matter is that Hezbolla is a terror organization that survives only thanks to donations, unlike Iraq which had money from oil, so you cannot argue that it had to do the USA's bidding during the Iran-Iraq war.

That is irrelevant. It doesn't make the US any less responsible.

Less responsible for the actions of a sovreign nation?

If that's the case, might as well hold responsible the country that sold the forks that were used by Iraqi soldiers to eat lunch.

We sold them weapons knowing damn well what they were going to do with. Thats the same as assisting someone with murder.
Forks don't kill people

And you're disappointing me: whether or not their oil export was crippled during the war has no impliation on the fact that your comparison isn't worth the bits you wasted on it; furthermore, your mention of their debt is a perfect example of how lame your comparison is, since Hezbollah would never be able to go into debt, since it has nothing to offer, unlike Iraq which had future Oil production as collateral.
So, do you still stand by your comparison after undermining it yourself?
You know your one-liners won't get you very far.
Iraq's main financial backers were the oil-rich Persian Gulf states, most notably Saudi Arabia ($30.9 billion), Kuwait ($8.2 billion) and the United Arab Emirates ($8 billion).
The Kim Al-Khaleej firm, located in Singapore and affiliated to United Arab Emirates, supplied more than 4,500 tons of VX, sarin, and mustard gas precursors and production equipment to Iraq.
