Right, Saddam invaded Kuwait - which last time I checked was not sovereign US territory - therefore it was not our business. Furthermore all during the saber rattling Saddam was public engaging in over Kuwait's breach of contract on oil production and their drilling sideways into Iraqi fields we told him explicitly through our ambassador to Iraq April Glasby (who speaks for the president) that the dispute did not concern us. As soon as Saddam moved we cried foul. Liberating Kuwait was an excuse for us to move into the region in force. Leaving Saddam in power justified our staying there. The current war gives us the dual opportunity of expanding our presense and relocating to a better strategic postion.
Right, Saddam invaded Kuwait - which last time I checked was not sovereign US territory - therefore it was not our business. If you believe that an armed invasion that would allow Saddam Hussein to eventually control 2/3 of the entire World's know oil reserves is "none of our business", it just proves how utterly out of touch with reality you are.

Saying that disputes over slant drilling (as usual Saddam, taking a que from Stalin and Hitler, accuses other of doing what he was doing) doesn't concern us, equals, "go ahead and invade Kuwait."
This is what I'm talking about. You may not be, in your own mind or heart, an America Hater, but you reeeeaaaach every bit as far as they most rabid leftist in blaming America first (even for what Saddam does!).
