But it's too superficial to lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of the United States. Anti-war leftists, however, thrive on superficiality when it comes to bashing America.
Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq was one of the most ruthless, greedy, power-hungry governments in Middle Eastern history. And that's saying something. The United States tried to check that greed and aggression through diplomacy and trade during the Cold War, but later resorted to force - first in 1991 with Desert Storm and then in 2003 with the invasion of Iraq and the takedown of Saddam's government.
