Michael,

Japan, like many other countries, also contributed ships to the blockade against Iraq in the Gulf before this war. I also have it on good authority that the two countries which were the biggest custormers for _Kuwaiti_ oil before the 1991 Gulf War were Japan and India, which would make sense geographically.

See my next post for a related news story with more background.

regards,

Grant.
