re: #404 efuseakay

If his neighbors wanted him out, they should have done so. Again, he was not worth losing thousands of American lives over. He was no threat to us.

We did not lose thousands of troops removing him from power. We lost them trying to nation build. Might be the right play (once we fucked up and rolled in) was leave as fast as we could after his fall or maybe capture.

Again I assert a threat to our key interests is a threat to us. If Iran attacked Saudi, would you say it’s no threat to us? Israel? Jordan? I would not.
