Saddam was going to seize the oil supply in Kuwait. We had no choice but to intervene.

Wrong move. MBS is a moderate in Saudi Arabia. Things are getting better. If you're a woman, you can finally drive a car in the country. If we went to war with them, we would end up with Hamas in control of Saudi Arabia.
