Wait a minute. What other county in the last 10 years has invaded and conquered another country?
What Iraq did in Kuwait was not "business as usual", AFAIK. If there are many similar invasions, could you give me an example? As for the question of what Kuwait is doing inside its own borders (or for that matter, what Iraq is doing inside its own borders, or Pakistan or Canada), the international community has typically held off physically interfering in intracountry fighting. This is changing. But 10 years ago it was just not done. Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/20/02 12:31PM >>> > > Jerry, who supplied him with the means to attack?

That doesn't seem > at all backwards? And why are we not all that concerned with the human rights violations going on in Kuwait? It's a monarchy not so disimiliar to Iraq in flavor. It's treatment of women in particular is awful. This isn't a kindred spirit we fought to save, folks. Why also are we simply not concerned with other, similar invasions and violations throughout the world? Why are we marginally involved in these many dozens but yet send billions of dollars worth of men and equipment to save Kuwait? Hmmm... What could it >oil< possibly >oil< be? How >oil< can we >oil< rectify this >oil< seemingly randomly >oil< applied foreign policy? I'm not saying it's right or wrong - but let's just be honest about our motivations here.
