"The wicked man who destroys the earth won't last long, and he will eventually be swallowed by the earth," Engineer Timothy Muller, the Operations Chief of the Bechtel Corporation, said as he addressed more than fifty people that day. The crowd was mainly composed of engineers and firefighters hired by the company to help put out the flames coming from the oil wells and refineries in Kuwait.
Bechtel Corporation, a Canadian engineering and firefighting company, was only one of the companies from various countries tapped by Emir Jaber III. The government of Kuwait was restored after the occupation army of Iraq was defeated and destroyed by a coalition of nations during the Persian Gulf War from January 17, 1991 until February 28, 1991.
