The people of Iraq were better off with Saddam than they will be under this "new democracy".

Rubbish.

And just so you'll know -- and I'll know that you know -- the reason Bush 41 didn't "go on to Baghdad" is because he didn't have a UN mandate to do that.

You unappeasables should at least try to work in a FEW facts into your diatribes.

Yea . Are you saying a republican president was a slave to the UN? He could have had Saddam "eliminated" in a clean hit had he chosen.

Remember that up until that time Iraq was considered an ally

Nice post, Howlin. Facts can be a real b***h when they blow your premise to smithereens. You are absolutely correct: the UN mandate was to kick Saddam out of Kuwait, and that mission was accomplished.
