Thank you Kuwait... the MSM tried to push that story from the "Kuwaiti official" saying it was Allah's will do hurt us, thank you for blowing that out of the water.

Kuwait was in '91, today is 2005.... perhaps by 2014 Iraq will be also be such an ally.

I suspect that if Iraq had it within their power today they would already be sending us assistance.

Now is the time for us to just gratefully accept from these Muslim countries their offers of assistance -- it is times like this that do more to build relations between countries than anything else will.

I suspect that any "Kuwaiti official" that said that is currently either looking for another job now, on his way out of the country permanently, or dead.

Take a look at the distribution of oil wealth in Kuwait - the government and royals take 5% or so (iirc, it's a small number) and the rest is equally distributed among the citizens of Kuwait. What a contrast with the Saudis, where the House of Saud takes 95% of the oil revenues and *sometimes* distributes the remaining 5% or so to the people.

In Kuwait, nobody becomes a terrorist because it means giving up literally everything - I think the average income of a Kuwaiti is something like $350K USD. They are happy and prosperous - no reason to join Islamic Jihad or whatever. What a contrast to Saudi Arabia!
