the first Iraqi war...

you know, ive always heard that Iraq contacted the united states government before it invaded and stated its position and asked our opinion of their plans for invasion.. we responded with a indifference... then leaped at him as soon as he did (with the call for help from Saudi and Kuwait)..
Kuwait was infact stealing Iraqi oil by practicing slant drilling under the boarder.. so Iraq had legitimate complaints that nobody was taking heed too.. I don't think that justifies killing folks , but still.
