I'll take your word, Justin, that you always "knew." But Saddam surely had
weapons in 1991, and the US attacked him in Kuwait. So I think that part of
your argument doesn't hold up. It is true, however, that the US prefers
attacking weaker countries -- the more disarmed the better. But the first
Gulf War took place before the UN sent inspectors into Iraq, and only a few
years after the disastrous Iran/Iraq war.
