>I don't know that George had good information Shifting gears a bit here, seeing as we're talking about Kuwait and all, I wonder how many are aware of how the emir of Kuwait paid billions to an American PR firm to lobby them to get the US to attack and get their kingdom and vast private oil fortunes back in the Gulf War. The daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador was coached and given acting lessons to appear before a congressional committee, and break down in tears saying something to the effect of "they're tearing the babies from the incubators".
