If the American people in a matter of months can love the people of Kuwait, whom they have not seen, they can love the people of our nation's capital just as well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I saw Kuwait many times before the war. I remember it as a beautiful place, full of very nice people, and it's a tragedy to see that somebody could set out to deliberately destroy a country the way the Iraqis have.
As a nation, Kuwait has been, arguably, free of freedom itself. Claimed in turn by Constantinople, Riyadh, and Baghdad, Kuwait has survived by playing Turks off Persians, Arabs off one another, and the English off everyone.
While Kuwait is not a democracy, giving only half the population a voice in their government is not a policy this Congress should support and one that I am glad that Kuwait's leaders are changing.
There have been more people disenfranchised in Washington than there have been in Kuwait.
Kuwait City is not gorgeous, actually, but it's got a kind of Epcot Center thing going for it. It's not pretty. But it's striking, I'll give it that. It's not as over-the-top as Abu Dhabi or Dubai. But nearly.
If you fall in love with a country and its people, that makes any country warm to you.
We are aware of the strategic location of Kuwait, besides the stable region.
If Kuwait grew carrots we wouldn't give a damn.
Loving a country is an act of the imagination.
Certainly I would not risk a single life to restore the Kuwaiti royal family to the throne.
