Persian Gulf War? Are you sure of the name?
Persia is modern Iran, but the war where Saddam's Iraq invaded Iran is usually known as the Iran-Iraq War.
Saddam's army later invaded Kuwait, which caused the 1st Gulf War.
Iraq never invaded Haiti or Lebanon.

Are you talking about the George W Bush or his father? His father was resposible for the first Gulf War, not W. Iraq invaded Kuwait because Saddam needed money to support his war with Iran. Saddam wanted Kuwait and other oil based countried to slow production so they could raise gas prices, so Saddam could get more money out of the rest of the world, Kuwait said no. So, Saddam invaded Kuwait to take over their oil, so they could get more money that way. This dind't work, because Kuwait is a part of the UN and the UN helps each other when a non member invades them. So, we did step up and help them. Granted, we pretty much took over, but we got Saddam out. The second Gulf War was due to Saddam lying about the WMD's. Saddam failed to let the UN inspectors in and inspect where they wanted to, when they wanted to. Saddam kept delaying and stalling, so he could move the WMD's or hide them. Whether Bush was right or wrong, I will support him. He might not be the best president, but he is the one that was voted into office. Any other person in his position would have made the same choice or they would have too affraid to make a choice and the US might have been in a worse shape than it is now. If another person would have not went to war with Iraq again, then Saddam would still be causing trouble, Osama would probably launch more attacks on us, simply because we had a president they could walk all over. Bush made the right choice at the time. He might have not made the same choice then if he knew what he knows today, but I am sure you made many wrong decisions, but you know what, you have to live with them. Granted, your not in the position to send people over there, abd he does, but that is his elected duty to do so. As far as holding him accountable, you are forgetting, Bush can't just attack a country on his own, he has to get approval from Congress. Congress agreed to let him go over there again, plus, there were many Americans who had no political influence in favor of going back over there and finishing the job. Kuwait didn't violate OPEC rules, if they did, we would have sided with Iraq, and the other OPEC countries would have demanded we not help Kuwait.
