Why's that? In the Middle Eastern polls I've seen, the Kuwatis lead the Arab world in their hatred of the United States. The Saudi's are #2. We are far more liked by the Iranian people than the by Kuwatis.
The general rule of thumb is: the more we support a Middle Eastern government, the more we are despised by the people. Hence, the recent pro-American demonstrations in Iran.
That's why we need to tell the Kuwaitis, the Saudis, and the Egyptians that we are out of there, and that we're not going to take any of their b.s. anymore. The only position they respect is one of strength.
