There's a video interview I saw about all of this on 60 minutes (I think) where it was made clear that Glaspie did in fact say to Saddam that "We have no opinion on your Arab - Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait."
And, as diplomats tend to do, she also proceeded to imply the opposite. In any case, you are making the "poor victimized Saddam argument" When one hears this argument in any particular case, one does not need to check the facts of that particular case. That poor little Saddam was victimized is an obviously stupid argument, and anyone making it an obviously evil person. --digsig James A.
