Go to your largest local public library, and ask the librarian if they have those. (I am uncertain on what the exact title is, but they definitely exist) Get the 1982/83 volume (it has a green hard cover, I believe they all do), and skim for Iraq.
Is that really the best you can do?

In the meantime, please address the issue that most of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi-Arabian, and were acting out of hatred for US support for the feudal Saudi dictatorship.
Sure.

<i>It's irrelevant to the discussion at hand.</i>

(There, I've addressed it.)

But OK, let's address it one step further. Let's assume that the US *has* in fact gone into these little countries and royally screwed the pooch. Given chemical and biological weapons to tinpot dictators. Supported terrible regimes and armed them to the teeth. Helped them to set up terrible dictatorship governments that kill, torture, etc.

Would it not then be the US' moral obligation to go in and correct its terrible errors?
