What is this? Articles from a children's school paper written by the kids? At the risk of offending a twelve year old, that first article is pathetic. Someone forgot to verify their sources. The "actual satellite photos" were shown to the Saudi Arabians who agreed that there was a good chance Iraq might invade them. They didn't even need to see the satellite photos though. Kuwait is about 150 miles long from North to South. Kuwait City itself is only about 75 miles from the Saudi Arabian border. Saddam sent 100,000 troop into Kuwait when they first invaded in 1991 and poured in additional troops after that.
How far from your border to you need to have a madman send 100,000 troops to be justifiably worried that he might invade you?
Well-written though. What exactly is the story behind the articles?
