Oh boy. The same was said of China after WWII, but they are now the ones loaning America money. I say absolutely not to the starving theory. I'll bet that a lot less people would have died, they would have gone through the movements (same as China), and came out the other end as a unified country under the rule of a semi-communist government.

Might want to look into the history of China after Mao won. It's not as pretty as you painted it to be.
About Kuwait, I know the history of the tribal usage by the British to break apart the Ottoman Empire. I do study Middle Eastern History.
And about your history of Iraq, you forgot to mension all the horrible things he did. Reminded me of Moore's picture of a peaceful and happy Iraq before we invaded and pissed everyone off. By this point we ALL know about how the US not only turned a blind eye to him, but gave him weapons. But that has to be looked at in the larger picture (USSR and Iran).
