re: But personally I believe Saddam would never have invaded Kuwait if he had received a clear message from us that no way we would let him get away with that.

Supposedly, at the time, we lead him to believe that we would do nothing if he invaded Kuwait (don't ask for a link as that's from memory and several years old; take it for what it's worth).

re: On the same note I believe it would be a serious mistake to turn our back to the Middle East to such an extent that they believe radical Muslims have any chances to win the world and destroy our way of life by terror.

How are they going to "destroy our way of life by terror"? There have only been two foreign terrorist attacks on US soil, both by the same guy (not the guy we got). There have been far more terrorist attacks by US citizens; do you think those are going to "destroy our way of life by terror"?

re: In my opinion it is our damn duty to let them know again and again, that any such serious effort would have dearest consequences for them and what they value most on Earth.

So we go after bin Laden's worst enemy in the middle east? And we create a country with the highest frequency of terrorist attacks ever, anywhere.

None of this makes any sense, you must realize that.
