now it didn't mean that you build his war machine, but the kuwaiti people being so close, or actually bordering, we helped the economy of baghdad, we helped the economy of the iraq, and we contributed thirteen billion dollars, just the government alone, to their economy and the people of kuwait also helped with their own private donation to help the schools, the hospitals, the food, whatever they needed, and the country of kuwait was erm trying to be, as my friend said, as neutral as possible because there is irani interest in kuwait, very great through trade, through iranis who work in kuwait, so we had a very difficult position with respect to keeping both parties erm sort of in sight, not lose sight of them from our humanistic point of view, but it was erm difficult to to to avoid being on the side of the iraqui, mainly because they're neighbours and they're arabs, and you're part of the league of arab states, so you can't draw the line and say the government was pro or against, but that was the atmosphere which we were leaving.
