"non-threat Islamic country"
Kuwaitis probably wouldn't buy that since Iraq's rape of their country proved otherwise.
Yeah, how dare we piss off the terrorists. Maybe we can negotiate with them.
Don’t misconstrue me as defending Sadam Hussein and his fascist state here… BUT most of the gulf state (With the possible exception of Oman) is quite capable of terrorising their own states without Sadam’s help, especially Saudi Arabia… that said your using an example from 1990, yeah then he may have posed an isolated threat to our interests in the middle east however in 2002-2003 Iraq was a rust bucket dictatorship which couldn’t threaten anything any longer… having said that it is a very good thing that we have toppled Sadam as he ruled over a wicked regime and a terrorised nation but that was not why we went to war was it?
