That is definitely an interesting thought. I personally think 9-11 would've still gone down.

Maybe, maybe not. If Sadaam took over Syria as his next move after Kuwait (I think we can all agree that that would be a good thing right now) then he probably would have stopped as he would have had access to two amazingly key ports. Why go after Saudi Arabia, the new Iraq would probably be in a better economic position? Plus you don't want that type of war turning your back on Iran.

So, if the First Gulf War does happen:
1) Iraq would include Kuwait and possibly Syria.
2) Al Qaeda would have spent the 90's waging war with Iraq.
3) Possibly no 9/11.
4) Definitely no ISIS.
5) Iraq would be under control.
6) Afghanistan would still be a dead country run by idiots but less opium.


So wow, maybe we never should have gone into Iraq at all? Was the father's war a bigger mistake than the son's?
