Choice A: US support of the Shah of Iran. OK. Encouraging the Iraq/Iran war as a means of balancing power within the region. Encouraging? They needed encouragement? They seemed quite eager to get at each others throats. Support of the Israelis vis a vis the Palestinians. OK. Of course, the US is supporting the only country that is even remotely democratic in the region. Seems to me we ought to support other democracies. And I'd say this is the real reason. The rest is smoke and misdirection. US involvement in Afghanistan; we helped train them in the noble battle of overcoming the evil empire. I thought they wanted to be rid of the atheistic Soviets. No? Economic sanctions in Iraq, starving children of Iraq, etc. Iraq DID invade Kuwait. After their defeat in the Gulf War, Iraq agreed to abide by the terms of certain UN resolutions. And then did not do so. The sanctions were the consequence. Seems fair to me.
