Sure, the US would fire on someone bombing the US and restricting our airspace. BTW we were not bombing Iraq daily prior to the latest war, but we did from time to time during the Clinton administration when Iraqi govt would refuse to go along with UN inspections.

It is still the case however that the UN did impose an embargo and nofly zone on Iraq and we were the designated enforcers (probably cause we have that big military you alluded to in another post). And Iraq did fire at our planes on a regular basis.

You know, in this and recent posts you're basically adopting Saddam's argument - we should have refused to go along with the UN in 1990 let him take Kuwait, shouldn't have enforced the UN sanctions on Iraq, etc. I don't think a "Saddam was right" posture is gonna get you very far.
