the way he handled saddam, kicking him out of kuwait - right. - and then having the brilliant foresight to say, "we're not gonna chase him into baghdad." - and stand all the criticism - right, right. - and be right in the long run. - well, of course, everybody's a critic, and you know, at the time you know, it was a controversial decision, and when we came back around with saddam hussein later, people said, "well, if only we had done thus and such," but you can always look back, 20/20 hindsight. - it would have been a quicksand. - you think it would have been a quicksand? - yeah. - yeah, right. - and secondly, he didn't have authority from the u.n. and we were trying to create a world in which people were willing to come together as a coalition to fulfill the commitment that's made that brought 'em in and no more. - it's charming to think that there was a time when we didn't have authority from the u.n., was not something to be cheering about, right? i mean, the idea today. - yes. - the politics of the world are so different today. the idea that you would go to the u.n. for support or r

i'm joined by a political professor at kuwait university. why this move, why now? >> this move is because hezbollah has changed tactic from a resistance movement, when israel used to occupy the territory. we were supporters then, but since 2011 hezbollah has shifted its tactics and became part and parcel of the iranian project to be the dominant power in the region, and it has been now wreaking havoc in syria and playing a role within the iranian fear of influence of abating, supporting, training and helping terrorist organization and cells discovered in kuwait a couple of months ago. they have a major accusation against them. plus there has been now evidence by the yemen government that was shown on saudi television that members of hezbollah militias have been training and helping the houthis carried out the major coup against the elected yemeni legitimate government, helping them and launching attacks against saudi arabia and even carrying suicide missions without riyadh >>> labelling hezbollah a terrorist group, is this pushing sectarian issues to the forefront.
