Re: Unprovoked aggression in history When I referred to "such unprovoked aggression", I was naturally referring to attacking another country on grounds that it may one day be dangerous to your country. This is where the current US administration's intentions differ from other aggressions in history of mankind, none of which have such "precog" reasons out of some Philip K. Dick novel. > Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1991. August 1990, really. Maybe you should check your facts before writing sarcastic replies to people accusing them of ignorance. "I see you never studied any European History", indeed. By the way, Kuwait was a part of Iraq until the British decided it would be better to have it separate for their oil purposes. So in his (probably slightly deranged) mind, Saddam may have seen the issue as slightly different than attacking another sovereign country (although Iraq confirmed its acceptance of Kuwait's sovereignty in 1963).
