Does it seem like things in Iraq...?

Nothing said in this forum will change your views. Know this, had we not gone in and and stopped Hussein while he ravaged Kuwait, there would be no Kuwait today. It would be part of Iraq. The follow up action for the initial confrontation was long overdue and if the world of naysayers didn't appreciate it, you can be sure the Kurdish people surely did. Hussein was systematically destroying those people, his people, with chemicals. Women, children and old people. Anyone with a modi of knowledge about what was going on at the time knows of Hussein's methods of destroying his people who disagreed with him. He himself was considered a WMD, seriously.
