Iraq is GWB's father's fault. It was piss poor use of our resources. GWB is the incarnation of the same.

Run for President, Bucky. Then you can solve all the problems caused by the Bush's, right?

Iraq was GWB's father's fault.

Are you saying that we should not have defended Kuwait and driven Iraq out of Kuwait? Hmmmmm.

Maybe you are right. We probably shouldn't have done that. Better to let Iraq have Kuwait and its oil fields. Better to let Sadaam totally disrupt the flow of oil and destroy the world economy. Better to let Sadaam have Kuwait so he could next move unto Saudi Arabia and then take those oil fields. Yep, that's the ticket. That's what we should have done. Why then, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. (/sarcasm)

Or, perhaps you are suggesting that we should have gone into Baghdad and taken out Sadaam at that time. But wait, why does America have to be the world's policeman?

I will agree that GHWB should have finished off Saddam. The enforcing of the Gulf War treaty, however, is the responsibility of all the countries who allied against Iraq. And since the US and GB lead that coalition, they are simply in the process of NOW enforcing a treaty that got kicked to the curb by not only the Clinton Adminsitration, but also the rest of the world. The fact that the UN is basically saying, 'oh just leave Saddam be' is proof that the UN is worthless. But that treaty is STILL a treaty, and as such, it needs to be enforced.

If you want to sit back and let the chips fall where they may, so be it. But look what complacency got us on 9-11.

Sorry, but the Bible says otherwise. According to scripture the Gulf War started and ended on precisely the exact day it was supposed to. And ... the scripture said, a coalition would come as a whirlwind to defeat Babylon (Iraq). The word "whirlwind" is translated from the Hebrew as "Desert Storm". Soooooo, if you want to blame anybody, I guess it will have to be GOD; Lord knows you have blamed everyone else.
