Saudi Arabia and Kuwait come to mind readily.

"Desert Storm" did not happen in a vacuum.

He doesn't care about the US, except that we got in the way of his last oil
grab (but helped the previous attempt). I have seen no compelling evidence
of "weapons of mass destruction". He is opposed, just not very successfully
(not that it rates as a reason for war one way or the other). I wouldn't
rate him as particularly unstable in comparison to some true nut cases
(North Korean leadership, for example). He's fairly predictable: he wants
to stay in power, and he wants more of the latter through the medium of more
oil. His threat is to his neighbors, and if they don't want to see a war,
then advocating such is to no good reason.

Morons - just because I don't think war is wise doesn't mean I have any
illusions about Saddam being a scumbag. Putting yourself in as a human
shield for him is stupidity personified.
