 * 1) Summarize the "Historical Perspective" of your issue? (see the timeline on pages 898 - 899 as well) In 1990 the Iraqi army invaded Kuwait in hopes of containing their huge oil reserves. The UN opposed this invasion and approved the use to force them out. The Persian Gulf War began and the US drove the Iraqi army out. A cease-fire agreement between the UN and Iraq prohibited them from using any damaging weapons. Inspectors were sent to check on Iraq to be sure Hussein was not hiding weapons of mass destruction. He thus did not cooperate so the removal of Hussein from office was up for grabs. He retaliated by barring arms inspectors from entering his country
