I was watching the a documentary bent on the truth behind the US history of involvement in Iraq, and then doing nothing to prevent what Iraq has amounted to; being a cocky & ignorant power they soon realized their dumb mistakes and start a war; Gulf War 2.

But don’t get me wrong, I wanted Hussein do be gone; killing his own ppl. But war was unnecessary; if not so, at least wait for the UN to legalize the freakin’ war on a strong basis of the necessity to attack; so the liberal populations of the world wouldn’t protest or complain. Nevertheless the Arab world would anyway.

To back up my view, I made mental notes while watching that documentary (from the CBC, Canadian network).
1980s the enemy of the United States of America was not Iraq, but Iran. Iran had a political revolution, replacing the shah of Persia with the Atoyallah, Muslim spiritual leader. The embassy of the US is stormed; American diplomats & guards loyal to the shah are trapped. The US has contempt for such actions; relations are stiffened as the USA is called the “great satan”.

1989, Iraq attacks and declares war on Iran. The US gladly supports Iraq, to fight Iran, supporting a politically set dictator against Muslim elements and extremism. The Americans supply bombs, equipment and technology for development of long range rocket bombs and chemical/biological weapons of mass destruction. After the war, a cease-fire is signed; the US sends billions of dollars to the Hussein. Hussein takes the money and starts his construction of Iraq’s arsenal.

The US president responsible for all that: Ronald Reagan, Republican leader. His government is well aware of Hussein’s track record and what he is capable but they didn’t expect the future. First of all a dictator can never be trusted, any dictator, king, communist even. They make weapons and armies to make an empire and a legacy to be remembered for ages. What were they expecting? The world isn’t all US friendly, just almost same thing happened in Afghanistan, they support them against Soviets, then they start terrorist camps, and the US goes and scorches Afghanistan for 9/11.
The US obviously uses nations for its own purpose, most of the time; they do have the occasional good deed.

Now look the US goes after Iraq now (first gulf war was justified, morally and politically) in 2003 to stop the Iraqis from using the technology it gave Iraq some 14 years ago, to build more scuds, bio/chem. WMDs. It’s quite ironic, they come to clean up their own mess, that their own ignorance created; created perceptions that dictators can be trusted.

Another point, the US had a chance to kill him. Loitered it away, gave dictator a new chance to rebuild and for more bloodshed.

So u see ladies & gentlemen, the war could have been prevented, in the past by the nation starting it: The US.
