>>The other is Sadaam has always coveted that water access as he does not have any, and he means to get it. The problem with Kuwait since 1890 is it was always a province of Iraq, called Basra.<<

Basra:
city (1986 est. pop. 616,000), SE Iraq, on the SHATT AL ARAB. Iraq's only port, it has a commercially advantageous location near oil fields and 75 mi (121 km) from the PERSIAN GULF.

An excellent site for some historical background on Iraq:
