No, I would prefer "lead, follow, or get out of the way".

Aiding Saddam was and is a mistake. You apparently agree.

So, one might conclude opposing Saddam is a good idea. Most people, when
they realize their mistakes, try to correct them. Russia and France are
not. The US seems willing to try to right things.

Your point is that the US isn't perfect? Fine, thanks for pointing out
the obvious. But I don't see that as constructive or relevant to the
topic. If you gave a specific example of how the US is planning to offer
military or political aid to a person or group that might turn into a
Saddam, then that would be constructive criticism.
