The Iran-Iraq war is one of the nastier parts of the 20th century post-WW2 era, with huge casualties, and has been somewhat tragically forgotten. Perhaps because it wasn't entirely the fault of the US, although they did arm Saddam Hussein at that point.

As was Iran-Contra. Oliver North should still be in jail, not a talking head on the propaganda channel.

Nah, mate. We mainly remember the history that touches us. The Iran-Iraq war is surely not forgotten in their countries, but its impact on the West was limited, so we don't really talk about it.
