Uday Hussein would be in charge of Iraq today. It’ll be interesting to see how we’ll deal with him, if we did not overthrow Saddam in 2003

If April Glaspie had told Saddam "We'll meet you in Riyadh" at that meeting in August 1991, the world would be a better place.

USA was still in a malaise due to our defeat in the Vietnam War. We did not have confidence in our capabilities until Operation Desert Storm. Saddam probably thought that Bush 41, like Jimmy Carter, was all talk.
