...complaint binds all, it is rage at Kuwait's government, which had months to plan for the nation's recovery but has so far performed incompetently. Many who had been effectively shut out of the nation's political life organized themselves admirably to survive Iraq's occupation; understandably, they now want a say in public affairs.

Already differences are emerging: the Soviets, for instance, want a better deal for their old client Iraq than the West does, and the Arabs and Europeans want to be tougher on Israel than...
