Saddam Hussein’s interest there was to control an overwhelming amount of the world’s oil so that he could blackmail the West (that would be the USA).

That's conjecture. We know the Kuwaitis and the Saudi agents went full stop with the propaganda to get us into that war.

Now granted, if you go to war with someone, you damn well don't keep them in power, or else you can bet they will make trouble again. And sure enough, we had to go back in 10 years later.

I would have not only left in power, I would not have the no fly zones, and I would let him crush the Shias! Then I would be HELPING HIM attack Iran!

It’s too bad we didn’t do that!
