This  is  pure  bull shit based soly on outdated propaganda spewed forth by
Bush and his generals on TV during the war (Yea, like if it's on TV, hey it
must  be  true).   If the US had not started the Persian Gulf War then Iraq
would  not  have had their entire civilian infrastructure demolished, or as
some  put  it,  bombed into the stone age.  There wouldn't have been half a
million  Iraqis  killed  during  the  war.  There wouldn't have been 46000+
children  who  have  died  since the war, due to the war, for lack of food,
water,  medicine  and  electricity.   There wouldn't be 5 million+ refugees
from  Iraq which undoubtedly causes instability in the entire region rather
then  the  prospect of peace that Bush likes to talk about.  There wouldn't
have  been  300+ Americans killed during the war (many of whom were shot by
Allied  fire).   There wouldn't be thousands of formerly employed Americans
returning  home  to  no  job (Didn't here that discussed in the debates did
ya?)  Read a couple of books and learn some facts.  Kuwait was part of Iraq
for a lot longer than not.  Kuwait also made the first agressive moves into
the  buffer  zone.   The  UN (because of the US) failed to take any action.
Heck,  if  Mexico  started  drilling  in Texas I'm sure the US would invade
Mexico.
 
As  for oil prices, the US can get along just fine without Kuwait oil as it
has  been for a couple years now.  As far as that goes the US (like Japan &
Germany  to  name  two)  could also just as easily buy oil from Iraqi-owned
Kuwait as they could from the dictator-owned Kuwait now.
 
The closest Sadam came to nulcear weopons is some of the material needed to
start  research to make one, all of which came from the US and was approved
by  the  US government.  This has already been confermed by UN teams headed
by  ex-US  military  people.   This  war does indeed have several things in
common  with Viet Nam:  (1) it was a manufactured war, (2) the highest loss
of life -still counting- was civilian (3) outrageous propaganda was used on
the  home  front (a lot this time was paid for by Kuwait) to muster support
(4)  Huge  profit  for  weopon makers (5) American GI's returning home with
strange deseases that the US government refuses to acknowlegde.
 
Let's  see, Sadam killed roughly 5000 people in Kuwait, Bush killed roughly
500,000  people  in  Iraq  and destroyrd their whole civilization.  I don't
really  care  for  Sadam but he looks like a Saint compared to Bush.  I was
hoping  for  Perot to get elected but anyone (except Quale) would be better
than  Bush.   IMNSHO  it's about time we got a post WWII guy for president.
And  BTW,  myself  and  many  others  are  tired  of  all this Conservative
Republican  propaganda bull shit.  If you don't know anything about a topic
then  don't  try  to  tell us all about it.  And no, I won't appologize for
using  bandwidth on this topic in comp.sys.adv since I was merely answering
a post that was already here.  I could care less whether you flame or not.

The  media  elected  Bush  in  '88.   For some reason they decided to elect
Clinton  in  '92.   It's  easy  to see who gets the most over-all air time.
What's  not  eay  to  see  is who has control over it.  Someone does.  Who?
Bush  got  it in '88 even though he was initially considered to be a "Wimp"
by the media which then propelled him into stardom as a "tough guy". Right.
