I don't think that Iraq's conquest of Kuwait posed a military threat to the rest of the region. much less to the rest of the world. It might have posed a political threat, but that's another story. The point is that Iraq's current lack of military capacity motivates the US to pursue its aggressive policy. If Iraq were an actual military threat, say with nuclear weapons, ICBMS, and all that, the US wouldn't be so aggressive. -- Yoshie
