1. Should we have removed Saddam in 1991? (Explain your answer)
-
No, because that fell outside the U.N. madates and the international coalition goal to simply remove him from Kuwait.6
-
No, because that would have confirmed Arab/Muslim fears about U.S. imperialism.2
-
No, because we then lacked the national will to fight longer and nation-build.3
-
No, because Saddam would have likely used WMD's to survive.1
-
No, because it was reasonable to believe at the time that Saddam's capacity for aggression had been destroyed.1
-
Yes, because our forces were already there and we knew we'd have to remove him at some point.11
-
Yes, because the respect of the Arab/Muslim world was not a valid consideration in our actions.5
-
Yes, because we should have known that simply removing Iraq from Kuwait and destroying their military was inadequate to contain Iraq.5
-
Yes, because Saddam would never have used WMD's against us, no matter what.1
-
Yes, because two military deployments are simply too expensive when one would do.2
