We watched and did nothing (and we had the power to do everything) as Hussein violated verbal agreements from the ceasefire and annihilated Iraqis we encouraged to rebel. This was in 1991. Bush 41 was still fully in power. Clintoon was president.

"We believe Iraq is a single country, that it is good for the stability of the region that it maintain its territorial integrity. We do not intend to involve ourselves in the internal power struggles of the country," Mr Fitzwater said yesterday (3-27-91).

Massacring Iraqis who oppose Hussein's tyranny-- why that's just an internal power struggle, that's all. [/sarcasm]

Bah.
