Yes, it's unfortute that Saddam invaded Kuwait.
Thankfully Iraq has some semblance of governance and has valuable Oil assets that it can export, courtesy of US taxpayers.
Iraq benefits far more from it's exports than the US gains from protecting them.
- mardifoufs 4y agoYou should tell kuwait that they were invaded in 2003.
- jasmer 4y ago? Kuwaitis are absolutely the most grateful people of the American re-constitution of the war that started in 1993. They would have been the first to tell you that the 'war never ended' and that Saddam, then even nuttier than before, remained a threat, with ongoing military operations in the 'no fly zone' for years - were you willing to listen. The 'mistake' was less the invasion as much as it was the handling of the aftermath.
- mardifoufs 4y agoWe are talking about two different wars. And no, being "a threat" isn't a reason to invade a country. Iraq in 2003 had no means, and no intentions to invade Kuwait. The first gulf war was iraq's fault for sure, but that's obviously not the war I was talking about.
