Hold on. Purblind?!? My whole point was that it was people who keep glamorising the Gulf War by conveniently forgetting the financial considerations were the ones who couldn't see the whole side of the story...
At any rate, the entire POINT of the treaties you refer to was to give the UN a legal foothold to intervene if the oilfields (and therefore, Kuwait) were under threat.
