Aug. 2, 1990 - The United Nations Security Council convenes an emergency session at the request of Kuwait and the United States, and votes 14-0 to condemn the invasion and to demand that Iraq withdraw immediately and unconditionally. the Bush administration has offered a vertety of justifications for its decision to go to war against Iarq. Initially, its emphasized the threat to U.S. national security posed by Iraq's alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction and ties to international terrorists. More recently, it has stressed the need to promote democracy in the Middle East. Along the way, it has also highlighted Saddam Hussein's despotic rule and human rights abuses.
