The Persian Gulf War Was NOT Iraqs Fault :: essays research papers fc

At 200 A.M. (local time) on August second 1990, SaddamHussein sent the Iraki military across the border into Kuwait,and sparked a war whose repercussions are still being felt.Today what eventually became known as the Persian GulfWar, feature the largest air operation in history and asenseless destruction paralleled only to Danzig or Hiroshima.Even though Saddam was the one who physically invadedKuwait, is balky at linked Nations resolutions, and isgenerally known as a tyrant. He should not be destroyed .The Gulf War was nothing more than the fall in Statesattempting to establish, as former President Bush so aptlytermed, the New Order. The United States supportedSaddam Hussein and the Baath regime anterior to the Kuwaitiinvasion. They even gave Saddam a Green Light to go aheadand invade. If Saddam were to leave forcefulness Iraq would eitherbe plunged into a Lebanon course civil war or face another rulerno better than Saddam himself. The United States iscontemplating another invasion of Iraq, however it is having a hard time of gaining support of the Arab countries. Whilemany people in this country believe Saddam Hussein shouldbe destroyed, that he is a totalitarian authoritarian and grosshuman rights violator. He is, in fact, a stabilizing force in hiscountry and the Middle-East, standing up to the onlyremaining superpower. The consensus currently everyday in this country is thatSaddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq, is a totalitarian dictator,thirsty for blood and prestige, who seems dedicated todisobeying the United States. It would seem Iraq is intent onkeeping United Nation inspectors out of its own country,although technically Iraq barred only American members ofthe inspection teams from carrying on their work(Nelan 54).The Iraqi Dictator seems to have decided he would rather bebombed than inspected. He apparently has no regard for theinternational community, and yet still wants them to liftsanctions. Also the Iraqigovernment stopped Ritter from pr obe sensitive sites,calling him a spy and complaining that his team was tooAnglo-American... the Iraqis also revealed Ritter was lookingfor evidence Iraq tested chemical and biological weapons on worldly concern - charge Baghdad called a shear lie (Watson 34).Those reports of human testing are obviously false. EvenSaddams strongest foes, including the C.I.A. seems to doubtthem(Watson 34). In fact, the only testing done by Iraq wason dogs. There were no inspectors around when the U.S.committed the crimes at Tuskegee, or when hundreds ofservicemen were exposed to radiation during the atomic testsin the sixties. The Iraqi dictator has stayed in power forsome 6 years since sanctions were imposed.
