Absent some agreement Kuwait had every right to pump the oil out of its own territory.

The bigger question is whether or not Kuwait should exist at all. The only reason it is an independent country is due to pro-longed British interference/imperialism in the region. What gives 4,000 members of the Kuwait royal family the right to Kuwait's vast natural resources when they should be shares equally among 24 million Iraqis. Kuwait existence is a huge injustice to the people of Iraq, imposed on the Iraqis by the UN. There are a number of these mini-countries (Brunei comes to mind) who's existence serves outsider's desire for oil and not the indigenous people of the region.
