What really drove it home for me was how much my Mom freaked out when the war in Kuwait broke.

If this is said about Europe's largest oil producer (between Nigeria and Kuwait in world stats), there's something wrong with energy production accounting.

Certainly - Kuwait wasn't an end-all, be-all goal for Saddam.

I'm not sure how discouraging Russian and Islamic expansionism is somehow 'seeding war.' I don't recall Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait being 'seeded' by the U.

When I was 9, we ran away from Kuwait because a friend of my father saw the Iraqi tanks move in and called him using a radio phone.

Suppose for the sake of the argument, we assume that the US should have fought Gulf War I (I tend to think so, e.g., Kuwait was invaded and Saudi Arabia was next on Saddam's hit list; Gulf War II, hmm...?

Why does Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Dubai, Emirates and so on not take these "refugees"?

GW1 militarily was a huge success, Kuwait - a "five feet high nation" in the Lloyd George sense, was defended from aggression from its much bigger, nastier neighbour.

WikiLeaks claims that "A document listing the subscriptions that needed renewal by 1 January 2010 details a series of contributory sums meant for two dozen publications in Damascus, Abu Dhabi, Beirut, Kuwait, Amman and Nouakchott.

As far as wars go, as mentioned in the article insinuating that men have a penchant for them, Margaret Thatcher had no problem sending warships to "defend" the Falkland islands or sending troops into harms way during the Iraq/Kuwait war.

Github doesn't want you to insult various ruling families if you live in eg Kuwait.

A few years ago I found myself freezing trying to sleep in an air-conditioned tent in Kuwait.

They should start insulting the ruling family of Kuwait, for example.
