Actually, last I checked, they messed with little ole Kuwait (after getting what appeared to be tacit approval from the US ambassador to Iraq), and then Bush Sr got pissed and decided to kick their ass.
Then their country got carved up by the West and isolated and embargoed to hell. Then, every few years after Desert Storm ended, the Americans and British decided to bomb his bases and fire missiles at Iraq to distract their electorate from domestic issues.
After 9/11, Dubya links Iraq to 9/11, even though there was absolutely NO proof that he had anything to do with it. Then THEY invade Iraq without UN support and wind up in the current mess they have now.
I wonder how indignant Americans would be if something similar happened to the USA.
