The coalition that fought Desert Storm was predicated on getting Iraqi 
forces out of Kuwait and restoring that country's territorial 
integrity.  Had the assault not stopped at the Iraqi border then that 
very broad coalition would have been lost,a breadth which was important 
to the operation's justification in international law.
