Russia and Saddam

Russia’s opposition to the toppling of Saddam at least in part is explained by this revelation from The New York Times: "A group of Russian engineers secretly aided Saddam Hussein’s long-range ballistic missile program, providing technical assistance for prohibited Iraqi weapons projects even in the years just before the war that ousted him from power, American government officials say." Did the Russian government know this? Of course. Gee, maybe this explains (and I bet there is even more) why these guys weren’t on our side.
