Iraq's Arab Neighbors: Kuwait
Kuwait was one of the few Arab neighbors that supported the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, a fact that's not surprising considering the American role in driving Saddam Hussein's forces out of the oil-rich nation in 1991.
But Kuwait is not immune to the Islamic radicalism seen growing in the region. NPR's Deborah Amos continues a five-part series on Iraq's Arab neighbors.
