I'm thinking of the Bush family's oil politics and their relationship with Saudis and Saddam prior to 1991. The War in Iraq seems like a war of revenge for 9/11 and for Saddam's embarassing (to his Amerian ally) invasion of Kuwait. He gassed the Kurds when he was our ally. Why didn't we impose sanctions on him in 1990? Why did we obstruct sanctions for the gassing of the Kurds? Did we understand his gassing of the Kurds was a revengeful decision? Did we empathize with it?
