In fact steps were taken to keep them out of the first Gulf War, because if
they had got involved, all the other middle eastern countrys wouldnt have got
involved and there wouldnt have been anywhere like Saudi to operate from.
It wouldnt have been possible to kick Saddam out of Kuwait from Isreal.

Fat lot of good that would have been when driving Saddam out of Kuwait.
Or for invading Iraq either.

Isreal never tried it against the Soviets, just some fuckwits like the Egyptians.

They've passed their useby date. No one is going to attack america militarily again.

Many of them do it to get american citizenship.

That was survived fine up until Iraq was invaded. And the first Gulf War
didnt stop fools like McVeigh doing obscenitys back in america anyway.
