From what former President Bush has said, at the time, Iraq was not the main concern--liberating Kuwait was the main concern. And once that was done, that was it.
I share your sentiments about the other countries, which is one of the reasons why I do not support this war.

Off it, I'm interessting to knwo what do you think about Spanish President, José María Aznar.

Truth be told, I knew nothing of him until recently. Actually, I don't know much about Spain at all. I mean, I know some stuff (ETA, Catalonia, the Spanish conquests in North America, a little about Franco), but beyond that, not much.
I always find it amazing...people in other lands know quite a bit about the US, but we don't know much about those other lands. I'm working on it though...
