Some Arabic satellite channels continue misinforming their gullible audiences with lies... A few of them (I can't remember which, they're all the same) claimed that Kuwaitis are fleeing the country by the thousands... Fortunately, there are such things as computers recording passport details of everyone leaving (duh! )..Since March 18, about 34,000 people have left Kuwait, (link to Arabic article) 90% of them were non-Kuwaitis, acting mainly on the instructions of their embassies to leave the country. Most Kuwaitis are staying put.. so there!

What's the point of all this negative propaganda, other than turning Arab public opinion against Kuwait during this war? What happens after that? I really truly hate to use this argument, but will their governments still come asking for financial aid? Do these people have any idea how much Kuwait has contributed to their development?! Kuwait has always taken a quiet approach to financial aid, not wanting to blow its own horn and call any attention to its activities. Well... IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT CHANGED!!

If it were up to me, I'd cut off the financial aid to undeserving Arab countries (you know who you are!) and earmark it all for the Iraqi people to help rebuild their country after the war.
