Desert Storm stopped short of toppling Hussein, because he knew what that would lead to…

No, it was because we had accomplished the specified mission. That mission was to remove Hussein from Kuwait. Then Hussein decided to ignore several UN declarations. We went in under the authority of those declarations to remove him. We and several other countries. Iraq is now on the road to becoming a beacon of democratic hope in the Middle East. Even with the bombings (hell, France has bombings, England has bombings), it is becoming a more prosperous and stable place. Hell, the Iranians are jealous of what the Iraqis have.
