It's certainly true that I fail to understand that anyone would avoid
a war by convincing the enemy that he had every reason to go to war!

I find it very hard to believe that that is the Arab mindset. Surely
you're being contemptuous of the Arabs?

I think you'd need to understand the Arab mindset to see what Saddam was
up to at this point. You don't have to agree with they way they think but
it would help to at least understand it.
