you were probably very young when this was happening. The reasons for building Iraq aginst Iran were common knowledge due to the widespread news and "professional" coverage.
The issue was not a divided one. You can still do simple research to explain the situation.
And using Hitler and the Soviet Union is a routine type of reply to an issue someone doesn't understand, instead of accepting the "facts". Your beliefs have been challenged and you won't allow simple knowledge to challenge it. Dictators have been using the approach forever when their "systems" don't satisfy their populations, ie: blame it on the enemy, or as used today, the infidels.
