Just a thought experiment: what if the rest of the world allied and decided to an 'Operation Desert Storm' type of punitive attack on the United States? It seems to me it would be more justified than either Gulf wars. All Saddam Hussein did was, basically, pull an Abe Lincoln on Kuwait and I do not give a rat's ass about Kuwait, one way or the other. He didn't ruin life for the entire planet.

And it would be as deserved, morally speaking, as turning Germany to rubble. German citizens were playing stupid games and won the ultimate stupid prize.
