Hasn't anyone told you that the US saved Kuwait from Iraq because they have oil better controlled by the US than Iraq? Or do you believe that it was for the purest humanitarian motives that the US "saved" Kuwait? Are you not familiar with the story of Bosnia, another Muslim country whose population underwent genocide while the US did nothing? (Until, of course, Monica told all about the cigar she sat on and Clinton had to change the agenda) Could that be because they had no oil? Saving Kuwait from Iraq is a pro-Arab policy? Please... That must be why the Kuwaitis are so grateful to Americans: The Gallup survey of residents in nine heavily Muslim countries found a majority of respondents in all the countries except one — Kuwait — condemned the Sept. 11 attacks as morally unjustifiable. abcnews.go.com The United States, Britain and Israel were viewed unfavorably in all eight countries surveyed, including Kuwait, where a U.S-led international coalition drove out Iraqi occupiers during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. washingtonpost.com
