ALL of KUWAIT'S media is centrally controlled and censored.

I wont go on.

THe Point is, One of the dozens of excuses the BUSH administration has dumped onto the American public for invading IRAQ was to set up a democracy there.

SO WHY NOT IN KUWAIT after the first Gulf War?

Remember the propaganda prior to the first gulf war? Bush senior repeated in public many times that Suddam Hussein MUST LEAVE DEMOCRATIC KUWAIT.

THe USA DEFINED A DEMOCRACY AS THE POLITICAL SYSTEM IN KUWAIT.
