I guess the USA, rather than leading the way to free Kuwaiti's - and their oilfields - in 1991 with a broad UN sponsored coalition, should have instead cozied up to Hussein instead.

Are you trying to be ironic here?  The US did sponsor Hussein for a long time, and only turned on him after he screwed them over.

Yes, I was being ironic and sardonic but, I hope, not moronic.
Saddam fell off the client list when he couldn't control himself.
Lastly, having lost a formerly useful puppet, the Bill Maher Method would have the USA replacing him with a right wing dictator and give him the muscle to wipe out their enemies in his midst.
Is that the right way to go?
