The USA has been around for less than three centuries, which is not what I
would call "several." Definitely came into being well after the Crusades.
The USA jumped in with both feet right after WWII, and has been influencing
affairs in the Middle East, generally to the detriment of the Muslim
inhabitants ever since.
Iraq may well have a legitimate claim that Kuwait, or parts therof, is, in
fact, stolen Iraqi land. That border was drawn by the British in 1923, 9
years after they "recognized" Kuwait as a country.
Go read some real history books.
