>
> Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990 and the U.S. responded by

>

>
> As a part of the public relations strategy to energize the American
> public into supporting an attack against Iraq the daughter of the
> Kuwaiti ambassador to the U.S. falsely testified before Congress that
> Iraqi troops were pulling the plugs on incubators in Iraqi hospitals.
> (1) This contributed to a war frenzy in the U.S.
>
> The U.S. air assault started on January 17, 1991 and it lasted for 42
> days. On February 23 President H.W. Bush ordered the U.S. ground assault
> to begin. The invasion took place with much needless killing of Iraqi
> military personnel. Only about 150 American military personnel died

>
> Other deaths later were from delayed deaths due to wounds, civilians

>
> In 1995 the Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N. reported that

>
> Richard Garfield later estimated that the more likely number of excess

>

>
> The Korean War started in 1950 when, according to the Truman
