The Gulf War Is an Important Symbolic Turning Point

The Gulf War is an important symbolic turning point because it showed how many Middle Eastern actors had aligned their interests with the United States. The only country where the majority of the population thought it was cool for Saddam to invade Kuwait was Jordan and Jordan had like some specific stuff going on. This doesn't speak to a existential crisis in which the West and Muslims are going to be at war for the next 50 years.
