1. It fought those wars with American support

America's limited assistance to Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war came at the request of the Saudis and other Gulf sheikhdoms and was designed merely to prevent Iran from winning the war, not to allow Iraq to win. For that matter, we also sold arms to Iran during the same war, if you recall, in a disgraceful arms for hostages deal.

2. America has started much bigger wars with no provocation.

Oh, I forgot. You did imply we started WWII.

3. The region, which was cowering in fear of Hussein in 1991, is not any more.

Or is Iraq's current WMD strength already sufficient to intimidate the region into trying to curry favor?

We pay bounties to Israeli soldiers implicitly for targeting civilians.

No, we don't either implicitly or explicitly.

So, we are not as honest as Iraq.

Yes, I know you have more sympathy for Iraq than your own country, you traitorous hearted cur.
