The world would probably be better off if Saddam would’ve been allowed to take over Saudi Arabia. Iraq was mostly secular and Saddam just wanted money not to send terrorists all over the world. Iran would have been in check and 9/11 probably wouldn’t have happened.

You can lay the 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Nussein and all the death and destruction that followed in the next 26 years right on US Ambassador April Glaspie and the George H. W. Bush administration.

She basically gave Saddam Hussein a green light to invade Kuwait in 1990.

That led to:

Glaspie's signal to Saddam Hussein that the USA would not oppose an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait is well documented.

She claimed she was following the instructions of US Secretary of State James Baker.
