Glaspie's comments, etc.
"Glaspie's ill-chosen comments may have helped convince the dictator that Washington would look the other way if he "annexed" a neighboring kingdom."
Tariq Aziz said in an interview that Glaspie did not make any extraordinary statements as a diplomat; she must made standard diplomat talk. It didn't convince Iraq that the US would look the other way...
Many in the Mid-East believe that the West was just trying to get Iraq and Iran to fight each other into wrecks so that neither would exert a strong influence in the Mideast. After all Europe and the US sold arms to both sides.
