No, what we did was FAR, FAR worse. On Thursday, Saddam was inflicting misery on Iraq with a war that no longer made any sense after the first few weeks. On Friday, he realized Kuwait was much easier pickings and invaded them. But wait, there's more. Saddam asked April Glaspie, our air-headed ambassador, if the US would have a problem if he invaded Kuwait and she said we wouldn't. The the Zionist Squatters in Washington realized this was an opportunity to goad America into taking out Saddam for them.
Except we never had a "beneficial" relationship with the Axis leadership. As for our very bad decision to back a lot of dictators in the Cold War who did terrible things to their own people, that is STILL biting us in the ass long after the Cold War ended. Take Iran. We propped up the Shah because we didn't want communism. His own people overthrew him and STILL hate us. What did we gain?
When did we grow out of this stage, exactly? Seems we still rattle sabers.
