I never said anything about America being the world's saviors, just that they lead they charge into Iraq over lies. Much how it seems the American government is having an itch to invade Iraq.Who started this illusion that we are saviors of the world, Teddy?

Whatever dude. I didn't even attack your choice in words, I never even said your opinion matters to me. And if you read what I wrote, I never described the president.
Saudi Arabia directly funds Salafist/Wahhabi extremists groups and gives them a public platform through the Saudi religious establishment. Many in the clerical establishment and the general populace are sympathetic to this ideology. It could be very possible that at some point in the future the royal family is ousted by people with an Al-Qaeda or ISIS-esque ideology. Such a state armed with nukes would be very scary, for both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Or another possibility is that the radical religious elements in SA could somehow get their hands on some sort of nuclear material and could use it to make dirty bombs. Besides, there's already enough nukes in this world as is.
After that, we became obsessed with Iran, even though Iran has not produced any real strong evidence to support they have nuclear weapons. So we are being told yet again there is a deranged leader out there, a real bad guy, who positively definitely beyond any shadow of a doubt has nuclear weapons. But these accusations, much like the accusations against Saddam's WMD's, are fictional.

Among them were advanced computers, some of which were used in Iraq's nuclear program.[32] The non-profit American Type Culture Collection and the Centers for Disease Control sold or sent biological samples of anthrax, West Nile virus and botulism to Iraq up until 1989, which Iraq claimed it needed for medical research. A number of these materials were used for Iraq's biological weapons research program, while others were used for vaccine development.[33][dead link] For example, the Iraqi military settled on the American Type Culture Collection strain 14578 as the exclusive anthrax strain for use as a biological weapon, according to Charles Duelfer.[34]
In the late 1980s, the British government secretly gave the arms company Matrix Churchill permission to supply parts for Saddam Hussein's weapons program, while British Industry supplied Gerald Bull as he developed the Iraqi supergun. In March 1990, a case of nuclear triggers bound for Iraq, were seized at Heathrow Airport. The Scott Report uncovered much of the secrecy that had surrounded the Arms-to-Iraq affair when it became known.[35] The British government also financed a chlorine factory that was intended to be used for manufacturing mustard gas.[36]
Niger provided yellowcake in 1981.[37]
