Kuwait’s parliament has about as much power in Kuwait as Ghadaffi’s has in Libya, even though it looks greater on paper. Kuwait has plenty of oil of its own, and is not planning further democratic reforms itself.
So, who has bribed Kuwait and why; and if that’s not the case who does Kuwait think they are truly opposing (some state that is supporting Ghadaffi) or who is the party or parties backing the “rebels” that Kuwait seeks to support.
I cannot believe that there is anything altruistic going on here; as much as I can’t stand Ghadaffi in the first place.
The last thing that Kuwait wants is to have the “Arab spring” spread there.
My guess is that this is a bribe to the Muslim mobsters, who have agreed to leave Kuwait alone in return for a substantial payoff.
