Why did the US want to liberate Kuwait?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Much of the world's oil came from Kuwait at that time (and it still does), across the Persian Gulf, through the Strait of Hormuz, and into the Indian ocean where it travels to other countries in the world. The US became completely dependent on this imported oil decades earlier. If Sadaam Hussein had stopped the flow of oil from this source, the US would have been paralyzed and economically destroyed. Therefore, it was a strategic imperative that Iraqi forces be ejected from Kuwait, and the pro-Western Kuwaiti government restored. Contributor's disclaimer: I realize the likelihood that this answer may be seen as unpatriotic and provoke an angry response, but this was the real reason for the first war against Iraq, and the reason why I supported this particular war.
