In 1982, the U.S., having decided that an Iranian victory would not serve its interests, began supporting Iraq. Why didn't we allow Iran to overthrow Saddam? What has changed from then until now? Why is it okay for the US to overthrow Iraq but not Iran?

Desert Storm under Bush Sr., even Cheney said a full invasion of Iraq would be a "quagmire." What has changed from then until now?

Blues, these are the same damn people who were in office then, that are in office now, who were the architects of the invasion of Iraq.

What has changed? And, please do not say 9/11.
