Did America liberate Kuwait?

After looking through the CIA World Fact Book. It appears the Gulf war may have liberated the Monarchy. But I am not so sure if it liberated the people. It appears nothing has changed, Even after many Kuwaitis and people of other nations fought and died to free Kuwait from Saddam’s control..

From the CIA World Fact Book:


http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factb...os/ku.html#Govt


Political parties and leaders:
none; formation of political parties is illegal



Executive Branch

chief of state: Amir JABIR al-Ahmad al-Jabir Al Sabah (since 31 December 1977)
head of government: Prime Minister SABAH al-Ahmad al-Jabir Al Sabah (since 13 July 2003); First Deputy Prime Minister NAWWAF al-Ahmad Al Sabah (since 2003); Deputy Prime Ministers JABIR MUBARAK al-Hamad Al Sabah (since 2001) and Muhammad Dayfallah al-SHARAR (since 2003)
cabinet: Council of Ministers appointed by the prime minister and approved by the monarch

elections: none; the monarch is hereditary; prime minister and deputy prime ministers appointed by the monarch

suffrage:

Women do not have the right to vote.
