The united states went to kowait because Iraq invaded them and that pissed off because they werent exporting as much of petroleum because of Saddam Hussein so the Americans went over there and fought Iraq for kowait and Americans won so this means more petroleum for the united states we were only looking for our own beifit just like how America took over Puerto Rico they want to do the same because they want to show other countries how much power we have over them so basically everytime we get in war with other countries and we win we get some benifets like more bases around the world so more bases = more power
