Correct so far...

We should have declared victory in 1991 when we had it and come
HOME.

But here I disagree. "Declaring victory and coming home" is exactly
what we *did* do in 1991. What we *should* have done was to finish
the job and do right then, in 1991, what we inexplicably waited
until 2003 to do.

except at THAT TIME(1991),we did not have any UN mandate for invasion
or regime change.

Correct. Saudi Arabia and the other middle Eastern states supported America
only because we promised NOT to regime change.
