If you re-read my statement it doesn't justify or praise Saddam. "Saddam did nothing wrong" in the eyes of the US.. like Salman did nothing wrong that is worthy of punishment in the journalist murder case, from the US point of view.

It merely states that the US will happily create, fund and tolerate monsters, but the moment their are political enemies they suddenly become devil incarnate. Happily fund and arm bin-laden, and extreme fundamental ideologies and then turn around and claim the high moral ground. Today KSA can do no wrong and Iran can do nothing right. Tomorrow if KSA switches sides, then they will suddenly become evil tyrants that have regressive views and torture their people.

It's not A vs B is a flawed comparison. It's A makes B, both are evil and roll around happily in the mud. A then claims moral superiority and is called out on it's bullshit.
