I doubt we would have done anything to Osama unless we invaded 
Afghanistan much earlier.  And there wasn't any reason to do so before 
9/11.

The Saudi's didn't want Saddam gone at that time.  They wanted him as a 
buffer between them and Iran.  However Iran's political climate is 
changing a bit with the younger generation and it's not as bad now as it 
was in 1991.

One of the US plans was to go all the way to Baghdad and take out the 
main forces of Iraq instead of the low-quality soldiers that were for 
the most part left on the line.  But the Saudi's nixed that plan.
