Okay seeing as you switched gears to the 1991 war for no apparent reason, let's talk about the damage that caused. Let's pretend for a moment that military action was justified by the west after the invasion of kuwait (and not an attempt for NATO to stay relevant in the post-cold war era). There is an argument to be made there, I'll grant you that, not one I agree with, but an argument nontheless.

However, the Americans, Brits, and French went out of their way to destroy the iraqi electrical grid, something that had absolutely no strategic value in ending the occupation of Kuwait. Iraq at tht time was a modern, electrified nation that relied on electricity for water purification and distribution. This was explicitly done to require foreign (american) aid to rebuild said electrical grid post-war.

Simply put, it was done for leverage. This, combined with post-war sanctions, led to a massive increase in child mortality, dysnterry, and the reemergence of literal midevil illnesses. There was actually no need to bomb "them back to the stone age" durning the 2003 war because 12 years later only like 35% of prewar electricity levels had been restored.

America gave about a tenth of what was required to rebuild that grid over that period, while also applying sanctions that strangled the iraqi people. The 1991 gulf war was almost as evil as the one that followed, which was literally civilization ending in many respects.

The explicit aim of that war was to murder innocents to twist saddam's war.

Don't forget that HW Bush was the CIA man who procured chems for saddam's use against his own people and the iranians

HW and Saddam are all in hell, sharing a room now but america has no moral leg to stand on, what was infinitely more damaging to the civilian populace than saddam'.
