	On record I have been and I will be opposed to the political 
	system in Kuwait which is based on an outdated tribal system.

	I have to disagree with you on this one Anisa and allow me to
	tell you that it is non of your business what kind of cars the
	rich Kuwaitis drive. Do you know that there are Palestinians as
	well who drive the same kind of cars the Kuwaitis drive. Have
	you ever been to Kuwait to see them over there. Do not go any
	farther look around you in Denver and see how your rich fellow
	Palestinians live.

	Crtiticizing a political system is different from picking on 
	people like this.

>But *all* Arabs consider the Kuwaitis to be the most over-privileged and
>arrogant people in the Arab world.  I recall a statement by the Kuwaiti
>Embassador right after the war - complaining (on Nightline) that there were
>still (at that time) "500,000 too many Palestinians in Kuwait" - with the
>look of hate in his eyes.  

	I always thought that the war in Kuwait was one of the reasons
	why we have a new national awakening in the Palestinian
	community. I was never happy to see these big numbers of
	Palestinians in Kuwait. This wsa not natural and should not
	have happened in the first place.

	I do not care about the love and hate of the Kuwaiti
	Emabassadore of the Palestinians. I am very pleased to see
	many of the highly qualified Palestinians going back to the West
	Bank and the Refugee Camps in Jordan. The Palestinian people
	need those Qualified people more than Kuwait does. Do not
	you remember that Kuwait took our best teachers and Engineers.
	Our people went over there to work and only to work.The work is
	not available any more so they should go back to where they
	belong, many of them belong to the West Bank and Ghazza and many
	went back to their refugee camps, those people in the refugee
	camps will go back to their homes sooner or later being it by
	war or peace.

	This does not mean I am happy the way people were treated in
	Kuwait. I think the Kuwaiti regime could have been more
	sensitive and humane towards the deportees but this is LIFE.

>Ah - same words, different person.  There is NOTHING FREE!!  Our people
>laboured very long and hard hours to receive ONLY WHAT THEY ARE ENTITLED
>TO!  

	Yes the Palestinians did not get any thing free because they
	were paying for it by their labour and expertise. 
	
>Your government gave a MILLION DOLLARS worth of jewelry to Princess Diana
>just for visiting Kuwait (before the war) and God only knows how much money
>they give to support their own interests.  

	I do not think it is of any body's Business of who gives who.
	This is sounds like street talk to me.

>The Palestinians and other Arabs
>are treated like fourth-class citizens because they are not rich, spoiled
>Kuwaitis.  Shall we even bring up the other peoples who are treated even
>worse - like the Indians, Pakistanis, and Asians?  Don't you get it?  

	If so why did they accept the jobs they were doing. Those people
	shpuld not have accepted the jobs in the first place. 

>But your government supported the continuance of such a dictatorship -
>it is YOUR OWN FAULT!  And I am the LAST ONE to commend Saddam's
>actions - in fact I supported Kuwait during the war because I know
>about the facist and ruthless tactics of Saddam and I felt very sorry
>for Kuwait and her people.  

	So you did support the war Anisa. I think that was not a wise
	thing to do. Any body knew the horrors of war will never dare
	to support such a thing. I am proud to say that I did not
	support the war and I had completed faith the thing could have
	been sorted out with out any further sufferings. I had most of
	my family trapped in the battle field in Kuwait during that
	dreadful period. I do really feel sick when some body comes
	up supporting this war. This is where I disagree with many
	Kuwaitis about this because they did not understand why we were
	so opposed to this War.
