I support Dubya in his decision, but I really think his old man should've taken the crazy bastard out in 1991. That's where the mistake was made originally.

As I said elsewhere, I think that 'finishing' S.H. in 1991 would have been seen as justified (if not exactly endorsed by Russia and some others), and that failure to do that was deliberate. I am willing to concede that I might be wrong in the formar part (global 'placet' on Hussein's removal), but not the later (that US needed him).
