This is a leftist dream.

Tell that to April Gellespie, President Bush's Ambassador to Iraq in 1990. She told Saddam that we don't take sides in arab arab disputes when he brought up his gripes with her over Kuwait just days before he invaded. The U.S. basically said, go ahead and deal with as you wish. Some speculate that President Bush and his advisors miscalculated and thought Saddam would just take the oil fields along the border and leave the rest of Kuwait alone. They would have probably tollerated that. But, that meglomanic Saddam took the whole country and upset the world applecart and sparked a war.
