Was Saddam Hussein a threat to the us?

Answer 1

In all fairness, Hussein really wasn't the threat; it was the vast store of WMD's in Iraq that the US needed to contend with.

Saddam Hussein was definitely a threat, but not necessarily for the major publicized reasons.

• He was openly hostile to the US after the first US-Iraq War.
• He had invaded Kuwait.
• He torched the oil wells in Kuwait.
• He was committed to arousing anti-US sentiment globally.
• He was willing to commit mass murders on some of his people and the Kuwaiti people, sometimes using WMD's.
• Iraq was a strong enough country to interfere in other plans the US might have in the area.
• Iraq converted their oil sales to use Euros as opposed to the US dollar, and encouraged other countries to do the same.
• He had fought a war with the US and still ruled the country.
• He could be a rallying symbol for anti-US Imperialism.
• Their country traded with other countries, reducing overall dependence on Western nations.
• He was anti-Israel, and used Kuwait as a bargaining chip with Israel.
• He could not be fully controlled.
