What is one reason that president george h. w. bush wanted to avoid a long-term war in iraq in 1991?

he believed that saddam hussein was an effective leader.

other nations in the area did not support long-term u. s. involvement there.

the shi’ites were willing to include the sunnis and kurds in the government if he ended the war.

he felt that the iraqis had made amends for their invasion of kuwait.
