True, but that only reinforces my argument. Kuwait is open to any nation with a navy. Alberta is not.
I should also mention that Kuwait, with all it's military spending, was overrun in days by a much larger force.
I simply don't know where Ozy was trying to go by bringing up Kuwait. It is actually an excellent example of the futility of trying to maintain a standing army when bordered by a much larger force. If it wasn't for the world's response, Kuwait would be a province of Iraq today.
