Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world (Western sources), how 
do think that tiny Arab countries could face that monster alone?

 Didn't they just beg US for help? 

Every country of the world is doing that.  Dont you know the new 
world order?  And you are talking about countries with less than a
couple of millions of population, how about a country with close
to a billion population and kissing American A** (Ref: Indian permission
to the fueling of US planes during the Gulf War)?

Asking reference for these is just like asking ref that the Earth is
round.  Go to a library and do a little bit literature survey.
