What would have been the bad consequences of Saddam keeping Kuwait in 1991 in your opinion?

Are you serious? Are you too young to have been aware of what was happening at that time?

I am serious. Saddam was on the US's side fighting against the Ayatollahs 1980-1988.

There was no threat to the USA from Saddy. in fact leaving him in charge would have meant no 9/11, no Iran nuke threat, no Islamik state, etc.
