Does any one have a source to Quote Kuwaiti oil sales and who the purchasers where in the Last 10 years?
EDIT: Kuwaiti exports to US (updated 2000): only 14% of Kuwaiti total exports. This includes Kuwaiti oil, refining and fertilizer products.

I know we liberated that Country too, and we did not set up Jeb Bush as its Leader….

I believe, but not actually being there, that the Kuwaiti people are Jubilant towards us and view us as a faithful ally and not there new ruling despot? I may be wrong tough, not actually being there to see for my self.

This is a complicated issue for sure, I do not believe we are after (your/There) oil; but I do believe the American citizens will not tolerate the pillaging of a another nations resource of any kind by a victor or not… Actually late world history has proven that Americans want to give and rebuild after a war, (even if it is not clear wether we won or was even in that past event or not. We helped the best we could).

I do know one thing, terrorism has been around for centuries, one of the best ways is to stop it, in my mind, is to stop the funding and transfer of arms. Appeasement or quick fixes has not worked in our history, Europe, Africa, South America, Israel, have had terrorism and death for most of Last century….

9-11 has brought this to home, and yes I want my country to do something about it, quick, decisive and as merciful as possible. I do agree with appeasement as anyone would with a child… Some national leaders make threats at me and my family; threats that have substance, threats that would destroy my family as with the families in 9-11, I prey my Country protects us from these threats; as I would, with a Brigand in my home with a knife to my Daughters throat.
