I tend to agree. Although the two sides had a bit different capabilities (and that moved around some as the war progressed), they were more or less evenly matched. The Iranians sent those massive human waves, Iraq used chemical weapons. And so on and so on.
Two incompetent third world militaries squaring away against one another. Neither could mount an offensive. An 8 year stalemate that was a senseless loss of life and treasure. The war exposed how weak Saddam was .
