In the early morning hours of August 2, following negotiations and
promises by Iraq's dictator, Saddam Hussein, not to use force, a powerful
Iraqi army invaded Kuwait. Within three days, 120,000 Iraqi troops with
850 tanks had poured in Kuwait. The United States wasted no time in
answering the aggression.
-Hours after the invasion, Arabs throughout the world took to the streets in anti-
Iraq demonstrations. Pictured here one of those demonstrations in London.
- Saddam Hussein, president and iron-fisted ruler of Iraq, invaded Kuwait in
August and most of the world became his enemy. The 53-year-old strong-man closely
identifies himself with war. His army, which numbers one million soldiers, battled
with Iran for many years. And now, he is faced with more battles.
