Exactly! We should not have intervened when Saddam went after Saudi Arabia. Let them kill each other; I don’t see the problem. As for Saddam controlling more oil, he still is going to sell it. Why we got ourselves entangled in defending Muslims anywhere is beyond me.
We went after Saddam because he broke his deal with us.Kuwait was more or less a protectorate of ours. It was, of course, a creation of the Brits and ought to have belonged to Iraq all along. But Saddam got greedy after his war with Iran led to no gain.
