I can't believe that people actually look for ways to blame the U.S. for SH invasion of Kuwait. He was "lead" to believe it would be okay as the U.S. had "no position" on the matter. Good grief! I guess SH was a model citizen of the world and only f'ed up because of insidious U.S. influence. Why does no one blame SH for his own missteps? The real irony is that these same people who blame the U.S. for the Gulf War won't even acknowledge the role of France and Germany in the current war. It is certainly not far fetched to suggest that back door dealing between these countries and SH lead SH to believe that an invasion would not occur because they would nix UN support. But, oh no! Can't attribute anything but pure motives to the French and Germans. We're the only wrongdoers. I don't get it.
