I believe the chief reason we didn't overthrow Saddam in the Gulf War was that we listened to the Saudis, who are simply petrefied of a Shia power on their northern border, and who would much rather deal with the devil they know. So we left the poor Shia to rise and get crushed.

Why anyone thinks well of Colin Powell (or Bush 41) as a strategist is a mystery to me.
