I now am not only against the second Iraq war, I now don’t see much point in the first one, neither. Who cares about Kuwait, just another invention of British map making....they’re all Arabs anyway. Besides Kuwait was side-drilling to Iraqi oilfields, so were the Saudis. Never get involved in a fight between Arabs.
Yes, thank you. Kuwait is a British oil company with a flag and had been part of Basra from the beginning of the Ottoman Empire. The U.S. Ambassador, April Glaspie, was right when she initially told Saddam the U.S. had no position on Arab-Arab border disputes. That should have been and should still be the official position of U.S. foreign policy regarding the Middle East.
I was dead set against the first one. We told Saddam he could do whatever he wanted not thinking he wanted more than they thought he wanted.
