Hey 92180,

The U.S. fully supported and funded "sodom" for decades, especially those paragons of morality in the Reagan/Bush administration. So yeah, as a matter of official policy the U.S. supported evil. Sad but true. Then we act surprised when he turns on us and invades Kuwait. So yes, you are correct, for decades we treated it like it was nothing. Dealing with the fallout of that kind of collateral damage is something that the Bush admin. and the Pentagon should have anticipated. Despite much advice, they failed. What a surprise. I feel bad for the soldiers and sailors who were sent over there, they are pawns too. Dont blame them.
