All these years on FR and you're still dumb as a rock.

How about that the original Gulf War was based upon lies and deception. (babies getting tossed out of incubators, remember that PR scheme?). Would that suffice?.

And I suppose it was a fiction that Saddam invaded Kuwait. For whatever propaganda might have been issued by our side, Saddam DID invade that country and was a clear threat to world security with his potential ability to control Persian Gulf oil. And he was pretty bad on the Kuwaitis as well - there are thousands of men still missing.

Has Kuwait been liberated (yet)?, when was Kuwait's last election held?.

I don't see the Kuwaitis gassing their own people, developing WMDs and invading their neighbors.

Whatever rationale you can use to justify "taking out Saddam" can be applied to "take Bush out". Actually, there may be a better case for the latter.

I think you would be better off over at DU, or at one of those Pink anti-American protests.

He wanted to control the oil to pay back his debts to ... ahem... OTHER Arab countries ... because they loaned him money to finance the war between Iraq & Iran (in which he pioneered the use of nerve gas)... which devastated the Iraqi economy. We weren't about to let the Kuwaitis pay for Saddam's tyranny. They still live in fear of him coming back.
