On timing, it has been over 15 years since April Glaspie and the White House arranged for Kuwait to be invaded to open the way to sanctions and a higher oil price.

If the police tell a criminal that they aren't going to patrol my neighborhood anymore, does that give the criminal the right to break into my house, steal everything I own and kill and terrorize my family?

Hardly.

And this is assuming that I concur with your statement about Glaspie's message to Saddam.
