I was talking about the specific support of Iraq for the purposes of the Iran war. That wasn't supporting terrorism. If Iraq used that support during terrorist operations against somebody else then maybe it would be supporting terrorism.

When you say "Supporting the enemy of our enemy isn't terrorism, it isn't good practice, but it isn't terrorism." you are replying to Gruss' comment about US support for Iraq when it was fighting Iran (1980-1988), correct? So this was not supporting terrorism then, according to you, despite what he was, at that time (1988 for example), doing to the Kurds? So when th US removes Iraq from a list of countries that support terrorism (http://discuss.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/zforum/03/sp_world_battle022703.htm) around 1983 so that they could give him military assistance against Iraq and against the Kurds... what keeps this from being support of terrorism? the fact that it's the US?
