So in other words, Reagan made an example of Grenada (who is not even remotely as close to the U.S. as Cuba), but wouldn’t have made an example of Iraq?
When Cuba "invaded" Grenada, we met them there in Grenada. We didn't bomb Cuba.
This all seems quite sensible to me.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait, we kicked them out of Kuwait. Again a sensible policy. What damage we did in Iraq was to ensure our success in kicking them out of Kuwait.
When Iraqis shot at out no-fly-zone enforcing planes, we bombed their anti-aircraft emplacements. Turnabout is fair play.
In what way does any of this rational, proportional, commonsensical behavior compare to the completely unjustified and disproportionate all-out invasion of a country which had piddling to do with 911?
A country, by the way, which was a strategic counterpoint to a much larger longterm threat, i.e. Iran.
