The thing that bothers me is that I could post a thread saying that Kuwait is a piece of camel dung that we should nuke, and it would get 100 responses in agreement.

The world is a complex place and each person, and certainly each country, has their own agenda which changes based on internal and external factors. I'm quite confident that President Bush will have lined up enough countries to provide political and geopolitical cover for our actions before they begin.

It's going to be on his timetable, though, not that of the newspapers or commentators. It certainly won't be with regard to the "nuke 'em all" crowd.

Kuwait is probably the least wretched country in the Middle East.

Contrast Kuwait with Iraq, or even Saudi Arabia, and you get the picture.

Until the Kuwaiti Shiek/Prince/King/whatever made that official statement of support for us , I would have been one of the 100. Now I think Kuwait would not only be a good base for an attack against Iraq, it is also in a great geographical position for an attack against Saudi Arabia. And I don't care what statements the Saudis make from now on out, I want piece of their camel back located rear ends too.
