Saddam has successfully positioned as a victim, at least to many Arabs. But at the summit meeting, Kuwait demanded guarantees that Iraq would not invade again.

Iraq, of course, blamed Kuwait for the failure of the meeting and demanded that Kuwait apologize for forcing Iraq to invade Kuwait in 1990.
