The author has fallen, like most people, for the MSM's rewriting of history. Hussein violated the cease fire terms of the first Gulf War which was authorized and endorsed by the UN and an astonishing number of the worlds countries. The US wasn't "nation building". We weren't poking a stick at Hussein just because we could.
Does no one remember Kuwait? There are consequences for starting and then losing a war and Hussein paid the price.
Libya was a different matter. Muammar Gaddafi had seen the writing on the wall and given up most of his ambitions. Hillary thought if W could do it, so can I. She started something she couldn't control and then ran scared.
I agree.
