>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". Never have a woman's tears been more powerful -- somewhere around 20,000 Iraqi soldiers died in the response. Of course this was all a fabrication, much in the same vein as WW I stories of Germans raping nuns and the like. But it worked (and knowing how lobbyists work with recent revelations, one has to wonder whether congressmen were bribed to help ensure success).


So are you saying that iraq should have been allowed to simply take over Kuwait? Why is Iraqi conquest a good thing and israeli conquest a bad thing?

Once again I see two standards, one for Muslims, and one for Israelis? If the Iraqis hadn't attack a sovereign country those soldiers wouldn't have been killed, of course once Iraq was attacked, they should have killed Saddam while they were there.
