Really? IIRC there were plenty of expat Iraqi groups wanting our intervention to save them from Saddams tender mercies (which BTW we should have done way back in '91) and secondly Saddam practically begged us to attack him with his constant threats to use WMD and his attacks on coalition forces patrolling the no fly zones?

But seriously how would you react when your enemy constantly violates the cease fire agreement he signed? There's a lot of Europeans who like to pretend that Saddams regime was the best thing since sliced bread but you know in your heart of hearts it's better that he was removed from power.
