I would hate to be so extreme as to say that maybe there are a few rays of hope out there. But maybe there are. A few, anyway. Have to start somewhere. Also, to be honest, I underestimated the staunchness of the Kuwaitis on this one. I lived there for several years right after the Gulf War, when they treated all Americans like heroes, but support held up throughout this war -- the polls I saw showed something like 89 percent approval. That's even better than here.

I'm just wondering if they came to feel that way about Saddam, what may they begin to think about Arafat and his gangs as well? Or maybe about other totalitarian/communist/fascist leaders?

The people of Kuwait and the people of Qatar should hold their heads up with pride. Of all the people of the middle east, the people of these two countries saw evil and stood up for their fellow Muslims.

The Kuwaitis have been great.

They have long memories that's why they continue to be grateful to us for our organizing and leading Desert Storm.

They also stood up to severe criticism from some Arab countries for being so supportive. The little guys also told the French and Germans to pound salt.

They stayed true through and through. Gems.
