When will these people understand that Hussein signed a cease fire and not a peace treaty. We were still legally at war with Hussein. He also neglected the cease fire on numerous occasions. He should have been taken out a long time ago. I am glad we took him out. Hussein's chapter is over and we can move on. Now, we are trying to set up a new government and we have to deal with insurgents. Which is good. That gives us a chance to eliminate bad people. Those who would fight us over there would fight us over here. We saw it on 911. The next one could be worse.

Also, after we pulled Hussein from a hole, Khaddafy gave us his WMDs and Syria pulled out of Lebanon. Both countries had sanctions on them and they suddenly decided to abide. Bush sent a ripple through the ME when he went to Iraq. I think he did what Hussein and others thought he would never do. And if you think Hussein was going to act like a good friend, you listen to Sean Penn to much.

You would think a guy like Trump would understand that.

On this much we concur; Hussein was badly mauled in Gulf War I but he was let off the hook by Geo. HW Bush. War is meant to fight until a surrender is given...not a cease fire. History has shown that in cases where a cease fire has been declared (Korea, French Indochina) the war doesn't just go away.
