“Most people do not even understand that there are hundreds of people being held by Saddam Hussein in Iraq, who are just innocent women and children, husbands and wives, men and women, just ordinary Kuwaitis who have been whisked away by the Iraqi Army during the Gulf War and have never been returned. It is one-tenth of 1 percent of the population of Kuwait that is still being held by Saddam Hussein. That is the equivalent in the United States of 250,000 people being held prisoner by a foreign hostile power. The United States can be proud and we Americans can be proud in particular of the role that we played in freeing the people of Kuwait from the aggression of Saddam Hussein and from the hold of Saddam Hussein. But the job is not done when the equivalent of 250,000 Kuwaitis are still in the hands of Saddam Hussein. One thing that we can be proud of, we won the war against Saddam Hussein. We won it. In fact, I was just in Kuwait several months ago and they have initiated democratic reforms in that country that seem to make it all worthwhile.”
