The first war was supposed to be simply about kicking Saddam's forces out of Kuwait. That doesn't incur the same responsibilities.
But leaving that aside, why didn't moral obligation attach even earlier?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment
