The mission objective during Desert Storm was
not to take out Saddam, as many uninformed people think (including my english teacher with a doctorate), but to liberate Kuwait.
We are doing what we did to the Taliban what would've been "best" (I guess) for Iraq. The problem is, except for the Kuwait incident

, Iraq is nothing but a whiney baby, they never do anything of significance. Now, if Saddam - and every other baddy on the planet - was smart, they'd steer farrrrrrrrrr clear of the terrorism business.
There's no future in that
