  • Operation Dessert Storm and Other Examples of US Political Decisions

    1016 Words  | 3 Pages

    In 1991, Saddam Hussein decided to declare massive aggression on the countries bordering Iraq. The most affected country was Kuwait. Due to the nature of their ties with the United States, Iraq had a well organized and equipped army that was capable of causing massive instability in Kuwait. The United States could not let this happen because of the importance of Kuwait to the US. Kuwait and the US were heavily involved in the oil business with Kuwait being one of the biggest oil suppliers in the world to the US. The aggression by Saddam Hussein to Kuwait was also a major threat to other Arab nations in the region that had formed trade ties with the US. The involvement of the US in this aggression became the first major predicament that President Bush faced regarding foreign policies and relations. The US could not allow Saddam to take over the Arab nations as that would pose a major threat to the supply of oil to the US. In addition, Iraq would have control over 20% of the world’s major oil supplies in the world. As a result President Bush responded to the Iraq despot’s power play with Kuwait to mobilize a global coalition with Arab nations in “Operation Desert Storm” that repelled Saddam Hussein’s aggression in 1991 (Crab and Mulcahy 255).

The absence of any direct actions points to the potential benefit such enemy as ISIS plays for the U.S. and its allies. Specifically, it is possible to argue that the main reason behind such approach is dictated by the purpose of maintaining the western control in certain territories and supporting the chaos in the Middle East that is historically well-known for its reserves of oil. The Western strategy is to overwhelm the Middle East by terror and rage in order to create an unstable economic situation in the region. Here, ISIS plays an important role in protecting Middle-Eastern assets, by enacting a plan in action by colonizing, or spreading throughout and unifying, the Middle East (Sanchez).
