I was puzzled about this, too - during the time back when the Gulf War ended -- and that Sadaam was still left in power. I very clearly remember General Norman Schwartzkoff (not sure how to spell name) telling everyone who was questioning "Why is Sadaam still there?" and the General simply said that the reason was that the "agreement" with the Arab states and other world nations was that the Gulf war agenda was not to eliminate Sadaam... the "agreement" was to liberate Kuait - not liberate Kuait and eliminate Sadaam... Not that the US wouldn't have still gone in there and wiped him out - We all wanted to do that! Unfortunately, it was not part of "the deal"......
So, that's why "So-damn Insane" is still there.....thumbing his nose. YUCK!!! This entire Iraq issue really angers me, too, because we should have kept going back then until we got him. I do think we tried bombing him to kill him, but, So-damn kept hiding, and he kept killing using his own innocent people as shields and they were all getting killed - and everyone in the world was watching this and getting sick of seeing innocent people getting killed all the time. That's another reason why we stopped when we did.
I sincerely hope and pray that we won't have to experience another horrible tragedy like we did on Sept. 11 to wake people up around the world - to make them angry enough, and to convince them that we cannot tolerate So-damn's weasel ways any longer. I'm all for going in there and making him a smear on the map of Iraq, but world politics makes things very complicated. It's very scary. YIKES!!!
