It depends on which Iraq war they mean. Most people your age and under typically mean the second war, when the US did invade Iraq.
But yes, the first time it was Iraq that was the belligerent and invaded Kuwait.
- rayiner 2y agoYou can’t disentangle the two like that. If you posit that the first gulf war was justified, you’re 90% of the way to justifying the second. The intelligence was that Iraq was rearming. If your position is that the U.S. would’ve had to intervene in the event Iraq invaded a neighbor again, then it doesn’t seem unreasonable to invade preemptively to avoid a potentially costlier conflict.
