Six weeks after Iraq invaded Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush went before a joint session of Congress on this day in 1990 to lay out the administration’s response to the attack.
With a large U.S. military buildup already under way in the Middle East, the president outlined a series of goals. They included the unconditional withdrawal of Iraqi forces, the restoration of the Kuwaiti government, the promotion of security and stability in the region and the safety of U.S. citizens trapped in Kuwait and Iraq.

“Iraq will not be permitted to annex Kuwait,” Bush told the lawmakers in the presence of foreign diplomats, including the Iraqi ambassador. “And that’s not a threat, not a boast. It’s just the way it’s going to be.”
They were standard routes from one monastery to another. They were like routes for trading and travel.

<span>So, you have all three angles of the triangle and you want to find the arc across from angle R. Since the\angles of a triangle total 180 degrees, each arc is twice the measure of the angle across from it on the other side. that being said, triangle ARC with an angle of 70 means its isosceles so it would have 2 angles at 70 degrees leaving an angle at 40 and since an arc is 2x an angle arc AC should be 80

Immigration has become a big global issue, especially in the field of economics, trade, and business. Population in some countries balloons because of immigrants, whether these immigrants are legal or not. The most common reason for immigration is the continuous search for a better life abroad, making immigration seem like the poor man’s escape.
There are so many reasons why people migrate to other countries. Some people are simply forced to move, perhaps because of war and hostility, just like what happened to the Syrians last year, and the Jews during the Nazi occupation. Others migrate because they want to find better workplaces and job opportunities abroad – the so-called greener pasture. Some migrants say they left their country behind because of prejudice and persecution. Others simply migrate because they are in search of adventure, or they just wanted a different place to live and retire.
Immigration is the poor man’s escape, and here, it is not mentioned with a sarcastic note. It is indeed practical to work abroad, especially if you do not see any improvement in your country’s economic landscape. A nation full of violence and corruption is not healthy for you. In such times, it is better to escape and be an immigrant.
Immigration is oftentimes seen as an act of courage. Living abroad can be daunting for a newcomer because he becomes exposed to a different culture. He has to adopt a new way of living, perhaps adjust to new beliefs and a higher cost of living. Even the pain of leaving your family behind is hard to endure. Immigrants also face bigger problems: underemployment and unemployment, abuse, not getting enough support from the government, and getting ostracized by society, mainly because they are seen as part of a minority group. There is also separation anxiety and the challenge of finding a better job. After all, that is the reason why they left.
If immigration is not all glitters and gold, then why do people still work their way to the bureau? Why do they spend time preparing their papers and getting that flight to other countries and beyond? The reason is simple: They have no other choice.
