      I get the satire but in reality, they hated Saddam. He was a Sunni.

      You do realize that Saddam’s Iraq is what kept Iran and Saudi Arabia from being so aggressive right? And that both of them wanted him gone for that reason?

      Because even after the Gulf War, it was still seen as a powerful enough military to take advantage of either two starting anything with each other.
