Why were many world leaders concerned about Saddam Hussein occupation of Kuwait?
They believed he would attack Saudi Arabia and eventually control the worlds oil supply. Even though there was little concern about Kuwait itself - when one corrupt dictatorship takes over another corrupt dictatorship, little has been lost - the concern was that if Saddam can take over Kuwait and get away with it, what other countries would he try to take over next? How far did his ambitions extend? It is worth noting that at the time, Saddam said that the reason why he invaded Kuwait was to liberate Palestine, which means that he was building an empire with which eventually to attack Israel, and that would have been a much more destructive conflict. And even that would not necessarily have been the end of his conquests. Today Kuwait, tomorrow the world!

Saddam Hussein may at one time have had ambitions to have nuclear weapons, but he never had them. By the time he was ousted he had no significant chemical weapons. He did have a supergun designed by Gerald Bull.
