KUWAIT: GOVERNMENT AND CURRENT PROBLEMS
Introduction
The intent in this paper is to describe the government of Kuwait and look at some of the current problems it faces. The Gulf War had a profound impact on Kuwait, altering the face of government and creating new problems for that government to solve.

The Gulf War occurred when Iraq invaded nearby Kuwait and proceeded to try to destroy the infrastructure of the country, even to setting fire to the oil fields and dumping oil into the Gulf, endangering the ecology of the region. There was no moral justification for the original invasion, and repelling this invasion was seen as a just cause. The world community agreed that this was so.

Introduction
Modern Egypt is like its dynastic counterpart, drawing sustenance from the Nile River. Today, as in the ancient period, most of the country's population is concentrated along the river, fully 20% of it around Cairo. Modern Egyptian society is identified not with the ancient civilization but with the Arab culture of the Middle East. That culture is overwhelmingly identified with Islam, the religion followed by 90% of Egypt's population (Library). Much about women's position in modern Egypt can be traced to a famous verse of the Koran:
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the
