KUWAIT today announced the resumption of diplomatic relations with Iraq, which had been severed since Saddam Hussein's forces invaded in 1990.Following the transfer of sovereignty to an Iraqi government yesterday "the state of Kuwait announces the re-establishment of diplomatic relations with its Arab republic sister", a Kuwaiti foreign affairs spokesman said.
Kuwait will send an ambassador to Baghdad at a later date, the spokesman added.
The move showed Kuwait's desire "to cooperate and coordinate (with Iraq) in the interests of the two fraternal countries and their peoples and to consolidate the foundations of security and stability in the region," said the spokesman. Kuwait, which served as a staging post for US and British forces during last year's invasion of Iraq that toppled Saddam, has established good relations with the Iraqi interim authority, which succeeded his regime.
Quagmire.

YES!
I've never understood the concept of quagmire in the middle of a desert.
Bumping for liberty (and good relations)
