Was Saddam Hussein anticipating bleak conditions for himself or his  
country when he ordered his military to invade Kuwait in 1990? He tried to  
justify this attack on his peaceful neighbor, but isn't it true that in  
reality Saddam was just a greedy aggressor who misjudged the world's  
reaction?
