so you'd be fine with Saddam Hussein controlling 75 percent of the world's oil?
How would this have happened?
He wasn't going to stop at Kuwait. he was going to take over Saudi Arabia and probably the entire peninsula. That must be close to 75 percent.
Well one interesting anecdote about that is Osama offered to defend Saudi Arabia from Saddam in 1991 if it became necessary. However, Iraq was a third-world country. I find Iraq taking over the entire peninsula to be highly unlikely. They couldn't even defeat Iran which was a single country, let alone take over many different countries.
