Dissolving the airline

That possibly should be the case - but it isn't. Once it is established the airline is the same entity, then it becomes liable for the thefts again, since they were effectively conducted by Iraqi; at the very least, Iraqi accepted stolen goods.

A better bet might be to asset strip the airline - sell off the aircraft etc individually, rather than selling an intact airline.

Who knows, we'll have to wait and see what the outcome is.

It'll certainly be interesting to watch. I hope they can resolve this get to the UK sometime.

So true. I think they need to come to some arrangement. Not only did Kuwait suffer under Saddam but so did the Iraqi people.

Yes. They should reach a sensible arrangement - such as working together and splitting the profits.

Yes, but at the end of the day. I don't see Kuwait do that, I see them carrying on being immature about it all.

Me too - although it is also an immature reaction from Iraq. It is being turned into a point-scoring exercise. If I was either government, I'd get an embassy built (do they have embassies with each other?) and start negotiations.
