Five years ago Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and lived to tell the tale. But how?
Article Abstract:
Saddam Hussein is widely hated, but there is general reluctance to bring about his downfall, as he plays a key role in the politics of the Arab world from the viewpoint of western nations. He is certainly a dictator, subjecting ordinary people to terrible oppression. However, western nations view him as an ally in some ways, as he ensures that the flow of oil continues and that weapons are still purchased.
