Oh well, hindsight's always 20-20 isn't it? I thought at the time we should have taken him out too. After all Bush had made the case that he was a new Hitler, and stopping at the Kuwait border was like if we had stopped at the Rhine in WWII. But as Bush41 points out, at the time all the Democrats were saying Bush had no mandate beyond pushing Saddam out of Kuwait, and every leader in the mid-east told Bush that Saddam wouldn't last six months. But once Saddam started violating the cease-fire we should have responded immediately by attacking every military installation, presidential palace and WMD facility we can find. It was Clinton who allowed Saddam to progressivly shred every commitment he made at the end of Desert Storm with only token responses.
