Gulf War I was stupid. Who cares about Kuwait, just another backwards Islamic country anyway.

You either do not remember your history, or you never learned it.

Who cares about Kuwait? Who cares about the Sudetenland?

Do you have any idea who was Salidin?

That's who Saddam thought he was, and who he very well intended to be. Kuwait was an appetizer. If we had let him keep it, Saudi Arabia was next, and they knew it.

Kuwait was about international law and international order

It was about not allowing sovereign nations to be unilaterally invaded and forcibly claimed

That is a red line and not just in Kuwait

If Saddam was allowed to invade Kuwait over territory claims and unilaterally change Iraq's borders, then where in the balance of international order does it stop?
