Re: Because we are righteous and Iraq is evil, that's why. You've got to be kidding. You may be belligerent, but that ought not to be confused with righteousness. In the runup to the Gulf War, Bush 41's team gave three separate signals that Iraq's dispute with Kuwait was an "Arab on Arab conflict" on which we "had no opinion", to quote Ambassador April Glaspie. This same message came from the State Department three separate times. Saddam would have never dreamed of invading Kuwait without a green light from the Bush team, which he received. After Saddam invaded, Bush double-crossed Saddam and perpetrated the Gulf War. After the war had been won, Bush fomented uprisings in the Kurdish and Shiite regions of Iraq. Once these rebellions were in full blossom, Bush betrayed the Kurds and Shiites and allowed Saddam to fly his American supplied gunships through U.S. lines in order to massacre Kurds and Shiites and maintain Saddam's rule. You call this righteous? You must be kidding. Cynical is the word you meant to use. -Ray
