Conflict in the Middle East

Question 1 • Yolo World History Term B Credit Recovery

Why does President Bush believe that pursuing an Arab solution to the Kuwait invasion is no longer possible?

Answer
A
Secretary of State Baker was rebuffed by Arab leaders at the meeting in Geneva.
B
The United Nations and the US Congress have both given up on diplomacy.
C
Middle Eastern leaders have demanded military action.
D
Saddam Hussein is unwilling to leave Kuwait despite the efforts of Arab leaders.

Explanation

Bush believes an Arab-brokered solution is no longer possible because Arab leaders’ efforts have not persuaded Saddam Hussein to withdraw from Kuwait. The key issue is Saddam’s refusal to leave, not that the United Nations or Congress has abandoned diplomacy or that Arab leaders are demanding military action.
