The aim of the U.S.-led coalition at that point was not just to push Saddam Hussein's army out of Kuwait but also to destroy the offensive capability that had made it a regional menace.

Coming only 11 days after the I.R.A. lobbed mortar shells at 10 Downing Street, the bombings aim at sustaining the terrorists' claim that they can and will bring dislocation to England just as they do in Northern Ireland...
