The gulf war was a part of this thread from the start..

By your tone are we to assume that you opposed the first gulf war?

Not at the time I didn't..but in hindsight we can see now why it happened.

It probably was, but I lack conviction.

Would you care to tell us why you belive that Saddam Hussien should have been allowed to annex Kuwait?

It was wrong for Iraq to annex Kuwait..Much like it was wrong for Grenada and Panama to be annexed by the USA.

As if.

This is the kind of absolutely ludicrous comparison that people with no compunction towards honesty often trot out to make their case.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Annex: To incorporate (territory) into an existing political unit such as a country, state, county, or city.

So you think the USA did this to Grenada and Panama in the 1980s?  That doesnt make any sense, I'll just assume you did not know the definition of the word annex.

So now that you do know.

Why do you believe Saddam Hussein should have been allowed to annex Kuwait?
