"If Saddam was a "crippled kid down the street" why did we have troops in Saudi Arabia protecting that regime, and why did we spent tons of time and resources patrolling his airspace and occasionally bombing his country? "

Good question since 15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia including Osama Bin Laden and the Saudi government has helped fund extremist Islamic schools with further anti-USA propaganada.

Indeed. Which means that the "just sloppily blockade Iraq and meanwhile protect the Saudi regime" option has had its cost as well. Included in that cost, at least partially, are the 3000 murder victims of 9/11/2001, as well as the economic damage to this country which resulted. I have to wonder why the anti-finishing-Iraq-war people seem so willing to pay that cost, year in and year out. Was making sure that the Hussein dynasty stays in power over Iraq that important?
