    Kuwait supported the war(s) because A) they wanted Iraq out and B) they
    wanted revenge. Qatar wanted the military support which comes along with
    hosting a major military base.

    Saudia Arabia supported the war by not allowing overflights or entrance to
    Iraq from their border? Hardly support in most people's books.

    Actually I'd opt for something more along the lines of the movie "Resevoir
    Dogs".

    But if you *** on the man's lawn, cause him to lose his job, his house, his
    car, and his dog, could you not reasonably expect him to want to make some
    sort of violent act back against you?

    It doesn't make it right, but the vast majority of human beings don't
    arbitrarily do things like blow themselves up in crowded buildings, busses,
    or marketplaces.

    An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure, but it doesn't
    make for sexy headlines....

    Bush, Sharon, the list goes on.

    This explains it.. a lot of people in Redmond also believed that the
    government was simply out to get Microsoft with regards to the (failed)
    anti-trust lawsuits.
