" Pappa Bush had every excuse in the book for not "taking out" Saddam,"

Regardless of whether I think he should have whacked Saddam when he had the chance, I don't fault Bush the First for stopping when he did. The UN mandate was to kick Iraqis out of Kuwait. It did not say to change the government of Iraq. The U.S. was being a good citizen and obeying the rules set forth by the U.N.
