Was the decision to hide Nayirah's identity appropriate? Do you feel the concealment made any difference in the debate on whether the United States should go to war against Iraq?
What will be an ideal response?
Any answer to the first question is speculative. To some, the arguments for hiding
Nayirah's identity are plausible. Others doubt her credibility as well as the story
she told. Was it the difference between war and peace? We may never know.
Once Iraq invaded Kuwait, the war may have been inevitable. However, one
thing is certain: There will always be a cloud of suspicion over the circumstances
surrounding the decision to go to war.
