Bannas I supported Bush Sr. driving Saddam out of Kuwait
I also supported him not pushing on to Baghdad . . . that was an act of statesmanship by a man with a savvy strategic sense of the times
Bush the younger was, on the other hand, an inadequate, biddable mess
Obama to his credit patched things up and held it together as best he could
but he couldn't resist the Clintonite pressure and got dragged into no-win Libya
and so we are here . . . and we have Trump
damn, this is depressing

I don't disagree with any of your comments above. Saddam paid for his stupidness. He had no right invading Kuwait. Iran doesn't do stupidness like that. They are more discipline. That is why there is always the drumbeat about Iran.
