| Over the next few days Kuwait will be host to some high profile guests. From former U.S. President George Bush and his Gulf War commanders - to ex-British Prime Ministers John Major and Margaret Thatcher. They are leading celebrations to mark the 10th anniversary of Iraq's defeat in the Gulf War.
