And your point is?
We helped the Brits and other countries have nuclear bombs, but if they start dropping them on their own citizens that's another matter entirely.

This is not true really. The US did not "give him permission" to attack a foreign country. The US was aware of troop movements near the Kuwait border, but not their intentions. The US had no reason to believe they were about to invade the country and rape it's citizens.

Yep. We sure did. And it was brutal. I mean, it was embarrassing for Iraq and it's military.

This is not true and there is no double standard here. Countries have the legal right to bring their ships - and planes - within a certain distance of another country. This happens on a daily basis - For example, Russian ships docking in Cuba. Not a thing we can do about it. Not a thing anyone can do about this at all. No double standard; We do it to other countries and they do it to us.

I'm not sure what you mean here... During the 1980s we helped Afghanistan beat back the Russians and then.... They allowed 9/11 to happen? We helped them and then they turned around and fucked us in the ass?
