What if Bush called up your President and said,"It's alright for you guys to invade fill in the blank nation now". You'd do it,right?

Yes, of course.
If Bush is calling up it must be important. He is not kind of calling every day...
There is also another background to this. Kuwait was Iraqi territory before the British came in. It has always belonged to Mesopotamia as their 19th province.

Wikipedia does not agree with this statement.
Jefferson: I place economy among the first and important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our choice between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy.

Canada was also part of the British empire, as well as the US.

Oh, dear - it's the Queen's fault!
And we've been blaming everything on Bush.
I know you think you understand what you thought I said,
but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!

Well...
Wikipedia is what it is. You cannot take everything stated there for granted...
Wikipedia is authored by a bunch of AGW enthusiasts...
When I am saying that Kuwait historically belonged to Iraq (or Mesopotamia) it is correct; and what Wikipedia says has no meaning...

Try not to forget this statement when you are quoting them over AGW.
