KUWAIT was to blame for the conflict as it first started slant drilling into our(Iraq) land, the al-Rumalia oilfield. Furthermore, by putting more oil into the market, the prices of oil will drop, causing us to sell oil at a cheaper price which will hurt our economy!

Kuwait was to blame for the conflict between Iraq and Kuwait. One of the reasons is oil-production. After the Iraq-Iran war, Iran was billions of dollars in debt to many of its neighboring countries, and it had hoped to pay it off with revenue from its sale of oil. However, KUWAIT and other United Arab Emirates countries produced more oil than the quota given, causing oil prices to fall. Since 90% of Iraq's revenue comes from its oil revenue, they felt that Kuwait was waging an economic war.

Iraq was to blame for the conflict between Iraq and Kuwait. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was largely motivated by its desire to take control over the latter's vast oil reserves. The Iraqi government justified its invasion by claiming that Kuwait was a natural part of Iraq carved off as a result of British imperialism. Saddam Hussein had gambled that he could get away with seizing the tiny oil–rich nation to help pay off debts. But his gamble did not pay off –– he had misread the interests of the international community and the United States in a stable Middle East and invaded Kuwait.

In addition, the Iraqi military allegedly committed crimes while in Kuwait. Evidence suggests that it tortured and killed hundreds of Kuwaiti nationals and people from other nations. Foreign hostages were taken, Kuwaiti properties were looted, and Iraqi forces set fire to more than 700 Kuwaiti oil wells and opened pipelines to let oil pour into the Gulf. In addition to these crimes, Saddam may be tried for the crime of aggression. An Iraqi law dating back to the 1950s prohibits the act of aggressive war against other Arab countries.
