Iraq, Kuwait A Little Bit Of History From Alternative View

IAlternative View was a cable public access show from Texas that might have looked like A Wayne's World reject but was actually a top notch news interview show that did lot of coverage on topics like the CIA, the Bush family, the Kennedy assassination and others ignored by the professional news outlets. We at MindsiMedia have excerpted several episodes and presented them as a way of showing some of the history behind the mess we find ourselves in today. This episode explores some of the history of the Iraq and Kuwait to provide some background on the first gulf war. We will present it in three or four segments.

Thanks for watching and for making your contribution. "Things are different in the desert" very well said and a lesson we have a hard time learning.  History means nothing if we don't talk about it.

@deadmanshand2010 I respect the history of your people, since my ethnicity is Iraqi and my grandparents were born there, but if there is so much history of Iraq in Kuwait, why was it empty when people arrived to Kuwait?

@ChocolateFTW1

I care because it is part of my history and the history of my people. And just for the record i don't see America as my homeland , i wasn't born in America by choice.

@deadmanshand2010 I looked at your profile by the way... you live in America, why do you care so much?

@deadmanshand2010 Then why was Kuwait empty and not part of the Iraqi map before Kuwait was Kuwait. I do agree some oil wells are like supposed to be shared between Kuwait and Iraq, but we get more of the oil because Kuwait has flat land and is easier for us to get, I get that and I appoligize for that, but Kuwait is a country with our own culture and history, so I'm sorry, but you just have to accept it.

@ChocolateFTW1

The British put you on the map , if it wasn't for them Kuwait would have been a part of Iraq . Kuwaiti identity is a fraud you are Iraqis in denial .
