Well, Desert Storm was somewhat justified, the dude did invade Kuwait and was planning on cornering the oil market, it was 2 birds with one stone: we help Kuwait, we secure our dependency/access to all that petroleum.
Desert Shield was just a pissing contest. Did Saddam have WMD? Absolutely, of course he did. Was any of it a danger to us? Meh, probably not. They all have that shit over there, most can't afford nukes, it's the best they can do, or they have the financial ability but not globalist permission. Hans Blix's report even reported sarin over there, just not in illegal quantities.. Uh ok then Hans. Then all the convoy movements from sites that were to be soon inspected. So yeah, he might have not been terribly innocent, but the whole trying to tie him to 9/11 and shit was a stretch, and where we went too far
