Re: Anti-War or Anti-U.S.?
why were there no protests against Saddam's invasion of Kuwait?
No protest needed, as prompt military action took care of it. Protests are for when you disagree with a nation's policies. You generally don't "protest" something you like.
His gassing of Kurds?
No protest needed, as US took action with increased military action in northern Iraq (eg. no-fly zone). See above for sensibility of protesting when a nation's already doing what you want.
Why is noone protesting against Saddam now, or demanding that he take action to avoid a war, rather than putting the burden on the U.S.?
Why protest? He's not doing anything other than being inspected and bombed. Not sure how that qualifies as inciting a war.
