Actually Saddam did started, but in other way. He decided to invade Kuwaiti! That is where the mess started. The first Bush made huge mistake by being lenient with Saddam, the agreement for ease fire in the desert storm was disarment of WMD. Then that is when Bush ease fire with Iraq, then he left the office and Clinton took over the office, what he did with Iraq? NOTHING! Then the second Bush came in, and ask Saddam what he had done with WMD, Saddam refused to cooperate. So, *IF* Iraq never invade Kuwaiti, then I'm sure we won't be in mess with Saddam. I believe Saddam invaded Kuwaiti because it is oil rich, and Saddam WANTS it so badly! I think that is how people assume that American politicans were after Afg, Iraq all because of greedy with oil, but reality it was Saddam that started it.

Back to the war in Iraq... who started? I don't remember Saddam starting anything. I haven't seen anything that appears as if Saddam launched a rocket against us, sent bombers against us, sent ships after us... nothing.
Think of it this way. You and me are enemies. I don't like how you do things. You don't like how I do things. However, I punch you in the face. When people ask me why I punched you in the face, my defense would be... "He/She was gonna hit me."
That's what Bush has done. "Iraq was gonna do something bad to us. So, I had to hit Iraq first."
Now, doesn't that comment sound a bit... childish?  |
