Iraq was bombed for 42 consecutive nights with over 88,000 tonnes of bombs being dropped. This almost completely destroyed Iraq military and civilian infrastructure.

You may describe that as Iraq being untouched, other would thankfully disagree.


Are you saying the world should have left Saddam invading Kuwait without any action?

look at the record of that war..saddam only invaded cause he thought he would get away with it as one of the wests favourite dictators..we supplied him with weapons, support and chemical warfare green lights all through his tenure. ( read some journo's books and they suggest it was our scientist that developed his chem weapons).

After the invasion there was a easy way out, saddam would have pulled out under pressure but the west scuppered any peace deals cause they wanted to blow [oops] up.

I dont think he would have pulled out under pressure, he was mad. In fact he was given ultimatums before the war started and it took some time to get a UN resolution as well. So you were definitely hoping there. It's true that the West supported Saddam against the Hiyatolas of Iran who toppled the Shahs, but if he wanted to retreat from Kuwait before any war, he had ample time to do so.

This is getting surreal so all these jihadis are attacking the west (not an Iraqi citizen among them) because the west joined forces with an international coalition in the 90,s and that's the reason British Muslims are killing people in 2017 in terror attacks have I got that right ?

15 of the 19 hijackers who carried out 911 were from Saudi Arabia. That's the same Saudi Arabia that is still funding ISIS terorism. That is also the same Saudi Arabia that the British Government sells arms to on a regular basis. That is the same British Government that is sitting on a report highlighting Saudi Arabian involvement in funding ISIS terrorism.

Western hypocrisy is absolutely breathtaking.

I accept Saudi Arabia is a problem in Islamic terrorism not sure it's the government though true most of the 911 hijackers were Saudi but Saudi citizens just the same as many Muslim British citizens are jihadis. Saudi is the heart of Islam where meca is and the current severe interpretation of Islam whabbism it is said started in Saudi in the 30,s so yes there is a problem. The alternative to having friendly relations with the Saudi government is not to have friendly relations not sure how that helps. On my other points still no response I note
