I say bull crap; Sodamn Insane was a murderous son of a _itch and eventually someone had to take him, his evil sons and his country down. What we didn't have to do was build them back. We should have wiped them out and confiscated the oil rights.
How many Americans did Sodom kill before the war mongers decided to go to war with Iraq? Was going to war in Iraq worth the 4500 American lives that were taken? There are lots of murderous SOB's in the world. Every time there is one is it America's duty to go to war with that country at the cost of American soldiers? Bush was a New World Order war monger, along with all the democrats that wanted war in Iraq also.
Well, here's 37 killed and 21 wounded and the attempted sinking of our frigate USS Stark..in1987.
https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Media/News/SavedNewsModule/Article/1850635/remembering-the-attack-on-the-uss-stark/ That alone, would be enough to start a war with any country...even now we hear the Putin protectors saying that our
just furnishing anti ship missiles for the Ukrainians, is enough an excuse for Putin to declare war on us !
The attack upon the USS Stark was totally unprovoked..one of the many reasons why Saddam was often referred to as "So damn insane" !
I expect some of those dead and wounded sailor's families, may have been wondering why we didn't strike Saddam & his twisted sons, even then !
Genghis Khan, Attila, Alexander, Napoleon, Hit
;Dler, Stalin, Mao..and Saddam... Dictators bent on
conquest do not stop of their own volition, somebody or something must stop them..
Are our memories so short?

I cannot explain why Pres reagan did or did not react strongly, but I
still have respect for Ronaldus Magnus..as Rush referrred to him !
So far as the attack on the "Petroleum tanker"...see below..
Oil Tanker top, USS Stark below... Quite a "mistake' for an experienced combat pilot, I would estimate...
