Iraq attacked Kuwait.
The Persian Gulf War (August, 1990 – February, 1991), known as the Gulf War, was waged by a U.N.-authorized coalition force from thirty-four nations led by the United States, against Iraq in response to Iraq’s invasion and annexation of the State of Kuwait.
Members of the Coalition included Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Egypt, France, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, Italy, Kuwait, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America.
As is usual after a war, Iraq signed an agreement to stop all hostilities at the end of the Gulf War. Within 24 hours, Iraq had violated that agreement.
In April of 2001, Sadam Hussein paid and provided the logistics for a meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia, for Al Qaeda’s various members. Later the CIA would discover the meeting was used to coordinate and plan the attack on the U.S.A., September 11, 2001.
Sadam Hussein NEVER stopped fighting the Gulf War. We had every international right to go back in, per the agreement Hussein signed in 1991, and finish him off.
Kosovo - Europe is responsible for what happened in eastern Europe. Clinton stupidly went along to make political points. Frankly, I’m all for supporting Serbia, as Al Qaeda was the, and still is, operating openly in the Muslim dominated parts of eastern Europe.
Libya - you’re talking about the Muslim Barak H. Obama II double-crossing a murderous dictator and aiding rebels. As for unprovoked, we should have killed Gaddafi after the Lockerbie bombing.
I too roll my eyes every time I see another one of Gordon “The sky is falling” Chang’s articles. I’m the last one who will give the Chinese totalitarians and nationalists any benefit of the doubt, but Chang never helps his cause by his almost-paranoid writings.
