The war was sold on the basis of a fake nukes threat. Do you think people are stupid?

Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and lit their oil wells on fire after repeated warnings to the Kuwaitis to stop slant drilling oil from the Iraqi Rumaila oil field.

The Kuwaiti slant drilling setup was installed by Western companies, not Kuwait, and the stolen crude was sold on the market outside agreed OPEC quantities, driving prices lower for everyone, but especially Iraq.

How long does anyone think the U.S. would tolerate Mexican oil companies slant drilling from Texan fields, or Canadian oil companies slant drilling from Alaskan fields?
