I'm just curious Keith...I wasn't aware that the US replaced any government in Kuwait...we just helped them repel the incursion by Baghdad, as far as I understand it. Is there something I'm not aware of? Did we actually facilitate a major change in the Kuwaiti regime? And by the way, I remember reading some years ago that Kuwait had the highest per capita income in the entire world...that's a lot of pretty rich guys, sort of...just how does the Kuwaiti government treat its civilians horribly? Now in Iraq, the government does treat its civilians horribly, diverting every available dollar to the miltary and letting some of them starve, gassing the Kurds, etc. In Kuwait, for the citizenry to have the highest per capita income in the world, the government obviously isn't robbing them. I think I also read they all get free schooling and medical care, too, along with their $50K+ median incomes. Doesn't sound all that bad to me. Or am I misunderstanding what you are trying to say?
