Donkey is right, we supported him throughout the Iran/Iraq war.  My unit personally found an ammo cache that included several mortars, artillery, and all kinds of other explosives marked US and with US serial numbers.\n\nAlso, during Desert Storm, Iraq launched SCUD missiles at Israel trying to get Israel to fight back.  Since many countries in the region don't like Israel, he was trying to get more allies.  Since they didn't fight back and we protected them with our patriot missiles, it didn't amount to much.\n\nBefore the war in 2003, America had put together quite a case for doing it and everyone believed Iraq had WMDs.  America encountered no resistance from countries other than Iraq.

What a good question! Yes I beleive that is a valid thought. nowadays they wouldn't have locked them up though, they were not dangerous, they would have medicated the lord right out of them. No one beleived them hardly and I wonder how it stuck after so many years. but that is history and who really knows except who really was there.

Yes.\n\nAny government that launches OFFENSIVE military action is by definition terrorist.

Chariots gave soldiers the ability to strike hard and fast against infantry units.  Greeks, Romans and persians had their chariots, sometimes equipped with steel blades designed to chop off the legs of soldiers.

They were very competitive with each other as well as other people.  They were greatly feared as enemies in war because they devoted so much time to military training.

Reverse psychology. In order to maintain their power base they must have a credible"enemy"to fight.

Yes, but not a very good one. When was the last time they won a shooting war without the help of the Soviet Union, Britain and Australia? I know about Grenada; I mean against a real army.

It's not a matter of right, it's a matter of strength.  Early rulers gained there position by pretty much beating the crap or killing anyone who opposed them.  This can be seen in the animal kingdom in pack animals.  The alpha male and alpha female are in charge because of there strength.

Maybe.  Military force is the best answer.
