I think we wanted to and they said no. So it's the Arab countries that really screwed them in 1991. Although we should have had the balls to take him out then. We knew what he was.

Also, don't forget, that after we agreed to the UN-desired cease-fire & end to hostilities, Bush 41 and his advisers thought that the Hussein regime would implode after the failed war. The Shi'ites and the Kurds would rise up, revolt, and Saddam would be finished. However, WE DIDN'T BACK UP THE SEPARATISTS. We even allowed Hussein to keep his attack helicopters (?!?), which he used to slaughter the revolutionaries. We should have done much more to support them and stand by them AFTER the cease fire; maybe we wouldn't have had to go through the last 12 years of lying, murders and games.
Thank goodness 43 is taking care of bidness, and will leave no one hanging--except maybe Saddam, Qusay and Uday, at the end of their gallows ropes.
