Kuwait couldn't do jack without US forces. In addition, your analysis is also flawed because you don't understand where the actual nations originated. Do you feel that just because a person draws a line on a diplomatic map and creates a new nation that a new moral imperative exists?
In addition, your analysis is also flawed because you don't understand where the actual nations originated. In a drawing room in Great Britan? Duh. And the lines have had time (a generation, at least) to solidify.
My analysis is NOT flawed in the point of a nation, regardless of the accident of it's birth, has the right to defend itself against naked aggression. Period.
