>>For some stupid reason we did not get rid of Hussein at that time.

At the time, there was raging controversy in the public, the media, and in Congress as to whether or not our national interests were at stake, and whether our defense forces should have been placed at risk of injury or death in the then dubious goal of liberating Kuwait. Bush was forced to isolate the goal freeing Kuwait in order to received a mandate from the people and Congress, as well as to receive the support of the Arab members of the coalition.

After having accomplished the goal, there would have been public outrage had he gone back on his word, not to mention the international political damage that would have resulted by betraying the trust of the Arab partners.

Now that the world has had plenty of time to observe the thug Saddam in action, they're all for eliminating him. Hindsight, as always, is 20-20.
