Um...no. I am refering to that, apperantly, little known Gulf War that occurred where the entire international community, to include Arab nations, felt that Saddam Hussein's existence, however horrible he was to his people, was worth preservation.
Again.... Hitler was a dictator and Saddam was a dictator. Hitler attacked beyond his borders once, while Hussein attacked beyond his borders twice and funded suicide bombers. Europeans, to include Germans, were spared any future dictator issues from Hitler. Middle Easterners, to include Iraqis, were deemed unworthy of such attention. Why? The answer to this is why we were wrong in '91 and why we were not wrong in '03.
