North Africa and the Middle East

Gentleman accept, however, that the ground troops did not go into Iraq in 1991 and 1992 and that for 11 or 12 years the no-fly zones, which protected the Shi'a marsh Arabs in the south and the Kurds in the north, were very effective in stopping Saddam using his air force to bomb them?
