You kinda forgot that the Iraqis were firing on our planes everyday, and that we were bombing them every other.

Oh darn! They were firing on a few planes that were enforcing a no-fly zone that they disagreed with.

So the reasoned and proportional answer to that is bomb the country back to the stone-age so that the Iranians will feel more at home there when they take it over in the next few years.

That's some great strategery!
