Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait- 15 Years Later

The 2nd of August marks the passage of 15 years since Iraq invaded Kuwait (note: it is not an anniversary as most are wrongly writing.) Despite political attempts to convert the Iraqi invasion into a "Saddam" invasion, many Kuwaities remember with sadness and anger the events that unfolded 15 years ago. Sadness again covers the skies of a free Kuwait today for the passing away of one of the liberation war heroes in King Fahd of Saudi Arabia.
Despite the loss, it is gratifying to see a tyrant like Saddam weak and broken, and waiting for a death sentence. Following are before and after pictures of Saddam, once hailed as the champion of all Arabs. So we don't forget:

Above: Saddam the great warrior and champion of all Arabs and Muslims

Above: Saddam the criminal as he sits in court- Which Saddam do you prefer?!
