Why do you put the "liberation" of Kuwait in quote marks?

Because using U.S. military forces to restore a royal family to a throne hardly qualifies as an act of "liberation" in my opinion. Particularly when the royal family in this case happens to rule one of the more radical Islamic nations on the planet.

That's what I thought you meant, but I wanted to ask to be sure.

Are Kuwaitis being mass-murdered, raped, and plundered by the Kuwaiti regime? I think not. I think 99.99% of Kuwaitis would consider themselves to have been liberated by the coalition forces. Just because they don't have a democracy doesn't mean they weren't liberated from Saddam Hussein and Iraqi occuption.
