11. Definitely not Desert Storm

Kuwait was the last country of the Arabian Peninsula to not let the US in until 1987 when they wanted US flag on their ships so it was really an opportunity for them to become our friend but I don't feel our loyalty to those countries is justified either plus the diplomat gave Saddam confusing information. Don't forget the "Highway of Death"

I'd recommend this documentary on Information War -- to get to Desert Storm you'd have to get past the Vietnam war part but the whole thing is Must See.



I also really hate the way the UN Security Council is set up so I don't feel they are justified either. Overall, I support talking 'til your blue in the face though I'd support taking out the "House of Saud" a long time ago.
