    An outright lie. The US ambassador told Saddam that arab problems
    require arab solutions, in a rare instance where we tried to follow the
    leftist policy of letting these third worlders govern themselves and
    solve their own problems.

    On the contrary, Iraqis actually invaded Saudi Arabia, in the battle of
    Kafji. Lucky we were there...

    Faking something is quite different from giving the Iraqis the time to
    destroy evidence of their crimes. Is a murder still a murder when you
    can't find the body? Apparently not. Eyewitnesses just don't seem to
    matter either...
