Really, now... last I heard, it was the USA who invaded Iraq based on now-admitted faulty intelligence.

Last I heard, Saddam invaded another country thinking the world wouldn't care. America kicked him out, but didn't finish him off for political reasons. Then Saddam signed a cease fire agreement. After that he spent years shooting at American forces with little response. The US finally finished the war Saddam started over a decade ago, citing WMD among other reasons.

I know people like hitting Nodbugger over the head with his own knee jerk reactions, but at least do it right. If Saddam hadn't invaded Kuwait, the US would probably never have gotten involved in the region, at least militarily. There would have been nothing to respond to. Now that I think about it, 9/11 might not have happened either since Bin Laden hates the US primarily for its involvement in protecting the Middle East from Saddam.

The invasion was a long time ago. Since then the UN and members have agreed to a cease-fire. Note that it is the UN that was involved in the cease=fire, and NOT the United States.

As far as my research has suggested, Saddam was firing at Troops from America, correct; however, America was acting a representative of the UN at the time,therefore they were actually considered UN forces before American forces. As such, Saddam was firing at the UN forces during the cease-fire, and only the UN had the power to act on it. Of course, America doing what Iraq did to them did not help things either. This being the cruise missile attack after the assassination attempt on Bush.

9/11 would have happened regardless. Perhaps not when it did, and perhaps not in the form it did, but a 9/11-type attack would have happened. But yes, the involvement in the Middle East did not help that.
