Default Re: different points of view

I think his anger towards the US began when Iraq invaded Kuwait. He offered his "Army" to help Saudi Arabia, but was rejected. The Saudi's then asked for American assistance. Athough America helped supply his army while fighting the Soviet's he was angered that the Suadi's prefered American assistance over his own. At least, this is how I understand his hatred for America.
