Saddam was elected president in 1979 (after being Vice President). We did not install him in the eighties.
If you're going to argue that the US had something to do with it, you should focus your argument (or at least start your argument) on the aid allegedly given by the CIA to the Ba'ath Party in the '60's, which led to the coup (led by Hussein, among others) that brought said party to power in Iraq.
