Please remind folks that Iraq attacked Kuwait aka the Gulf War and that Iraq was under a Cease Fire crafted by the UN and that Iraq had violated the Cease Fire, IIRC, 14 times.

Yes. I never understood why we didn't take action the second time the cease fire was violated. Seemed to me that was justification enough right there. If you're going to take such a stand, you have to mean it, or else don't do it.

We did keep a no fly zone (along with the Brits I think) over Iraq for years..and were constantly bombing new facilities that they set up....But only in the Kurd and Sunni areas (N & S).

So remember, too....Iraq had actually attacked another country. Libya is a civil war. So who is the enemy?? This is a 97% Muslim country. Democracy is a joke...
