The Bush administration backed the UN resolution calling for Saddam Hussein to withdraw from kuwait because the United States feared that Hussein would gain and use influence if he controlled Kuwaiti oil.

Saddam refused to withdraw. In Kuwait, Saddam Hussein's forces were executing people.

On 22 August, Bush signed an order seeking to call up 46,000 reservists to join the military buildup in Saudi Arabia. After that, the United Nations authorized military action in order to enforce a trade embargo in opposition to Iraq. On 29 August, Saddam reacted by announcing that the US could not defeat Iraq.

Scorpion4ik [409]

We cannot know the number unless you attach a picture of the map. However, the Bering Sea is a marginal sea in the Pacific Ocean that separates Alaska from Russian Siberia. Some scientists believe that during the last ice age, sea level was low enough to allow humans to cross from Russia to North America on foot, over what is known as the "Bering Land Bridge." They also believe that this was the first point of entry of humans into the Americas.
