Roger>The coalition that fought Desert Storm was predicated on getting Iraqi
forces out of Kuwait and restoring that country's territorial
integrity.  Had the assault not stopped at the Iraqi border then that
very broad coalition would have been lost,a breadth which was important
to the operation's justification in international law.


Roger, that info you provided is irrelevant to the fact that the  Iraqis who 
were recruited to secretly aid and abet US forces during Desert Storm were 
left 'in the wind' as they say. When we left them behind, their ultimate 
torture at the hands of the S H regime left a 'bad taste' in the mouth of 
people  like O BL.   That was the genesis of Al Q.


If you read my paragraph correctly I was not saying we (US) should have gone 
to Bagdad as all the pundits spoke about after 9/11...  I also do not think 
it was a mistake to have not gone, but the real mistake, the real moral 
wrong, was what we did to those who helped us by leaving them behind.
