OT JF, <The first Gulf War in my opinion was a justified war against an aggressor regime. And we would have been justified to take out SH at that time. I was surprised that we didn't.> The UN and our NATO allies would have had a fit, since taking out Saddam at the time would have gone beyond the stipulated goals of freeing Kuwait. A better question is why we didn't help the resistance movement that followed a year or two later. They lacked Western assistance and got crushed. Most Iraqis sympathetic to the resistance mistrusted us during Gulf War II because they feared we'd abandon them again. Tenchusatsu
