You don't know your history. Bush Sr didn't remove Saddam from power because he knew that to do so would empower Iran, which was a far more formidable foe than Saddam, and an empowered Iran would destabilize the Middle East.

Surprise! That's exactly what happened when his namesake with far fewer brains went ahead and removed Saddam. Basically, we liberated Iran and it cost us $800B. We took a controlled situation and turned it into chaos. Congratulations. This is what happens when the monkey brains reign supreme.
