- we never lived in terror in our own country
- we never felt like we can't express our selves freely
- the money from our country's resources did (and still does) reach the people (unlike other regimes that hog all the money to the higher-ups in the ruling ladder)
- when we (people of Kuwait) didn't have a country back in 1990, we chose Sheikh Jabir as our Emir. He was the Emir before the invasion, and we wanted him to be an Emir during the invasion and after when Kuwait was liberated.
- he respected all the Kuwaiti families and always established contact with his people, he used to visit them during their festivities and in sorrow.
Some people want him to be perfect, no ruler is! ... and we still LOVE him.
Sheikh Jaber AlAhmad AlSabah 1926 - 2006
