The same, of course, could be said about the military balance of power
when Iraq invaded defenseless Kuwait too.  So a bully got his nose
bloodied.

Correction: all because Iraq failed to honor its agreement in the
document it signed with the UN to cease the hostilities.  Iraq is a
vanquished foe and Saddam got off very cheap.  That document was in
effect a surrender and very few surrenders result in a belligerent
nation being permitted to keep its military, its leadership and its
territorial sovereignity.

Because they didn't agree to do so.
