That whole episode in the history of US/Arab State affairs is affirmation that private interests and lies are something that the people of the state have no influence over.
Leaders and their minions will cheat, lie, and manipulate in the name of state, to achieve the ends of their masters. They will be regarded with revisionist history accounts of their extraordinary value to the people... the people's children will be indoctrinated into the tale... and grievances that thus arise after the fact will always be a "surprise" to them.
Kuwait's oil magnates were stealing oil... but was it for more money for them, or as a provocation enabling more revenue for the MIC? Was someone exchanging 'back scratches?'
All of this lead to the deaths of thousands who otherwise had no reason to kill and die, and derived no positive outcome from the conflict.
A sad story.
