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. Yes, I know I updated my message. The US response, the Gulf War, started in January 1991, so 1991 sticks out in my mind. 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). Anyway the US doesn't seek unprovoked aggression for the sake of it in Iraq. It seeks to remove Saddam and liberate the Iraq people from their suffering. It shouldn't take more than a month.
