Your couterpoints are ridiculous. You cannot just say that since we backed him in the Iran-Iraq war that he was our guy. We allied ourselves with Stalin and then fought the Soviets everywhere in the world after WWII.
Here is the turning point, pure and simple. He invaded Kuwait with the goal of taking over that country and using the profits from Kuwaiti oil to pay off war debts. Then he was going after Saudi Arabia. We defeated him. He surrendered and agreed to surrender terms. He did not comply. We removed him from power. Now, we are rebuilding the country and we WILL be successful.
I hope we are successful.
Very succinct. Bravo.
