Perhaps you should pay more attention to your own words and as for the 80's - I'm not embarrassed at all, we were fighting what we thought was the greater evil.

You think that religious fanatics are worse than a tyrant killing people left and right? I don't like religious fanatics but I put them a couple of rungs above ruthless dictators.

"The time to have justified forceful intervention in Iraq on humanitarian grounds was indeed during the Iran war and directly after the 1991 gulf war"

To which you replied: We were busy acquiescing to the will of the UN and withdrew to Kuwait. Everyone in the USA complained Bush Sr. should have ignored the UN and continued on to Baghdad. clearly ignoring the role Reagan administration played in supporting Saddam in what turned out to be the slaughter of a million people, some dying by the same weapons we take issue with today and which folks have reported we even provided? And you call this politics? When does it become real shit for guys like you?
