Saddam Hussein fell in to the trap, which was set up by the NATO. He must have refrained from invading Kuwait, despite the provocations from the latter. In the end it was the ordinary Iraqis who suffered. And even now, the Iraqi government is making their monthly repatriation payments to Kuwait (total repatriations are somewhere around $350 billion).

Anniversary of a war?
That's not right. I mean you could say that today are 25 years since that happened, but wars shouldn't be celebrated IMO.

You can decide yourself if you want to celebrate it or not. You decide  Smiley

The skies over Baghdad have been illuminated

Operation Desert Storm started 25 years ago this day.

The Gulf War began with an extensive aerial bombing campaign on 17 January 1991. The Coalition flew over 100,000 sorties, dropping 88,500 tons of bombs,[99] and widely destroying military and civilian infrastructure.[100] The air campaign was commanded by USAF Lieutenant General Chuck Horner, who briefly served as U.S. Central Command's Commander-in-Chief – Forward while General Schwarzkopf was still in the U.S.

A day after the deadline set in Resolution 678, the Coalition launched a massive air campaign, which began the general offensive codenamed Operation Desert Storm. The first priority for Coalition forces was the destruction of Iraq's Air Force and anti-aircraft facilities. The sorties were launched mostly from Saudi Arabia and the six Coalition carrier battle groups (CVBG) in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea.
