Others contacted acquaintances to prepare for possible developments. Even some Kuwaitis abroad began to consider coming home. These gestures seemed harmless but were all based on assumptions rather than facts. In truth, the request was nothing more than a routine administrative need. The Secretariat was looking for two cars of the type used by office messengers. There was no political message behind it. Ironically, the reaction would have been even more dramatic had the request been for buses instead of cars. More telling was the government's silence. This wave of sudden optimism created a gentle calm that benefited the Cabinet without requiring any clarification. At a time when agencies often rush to deny even trivial rumors, this misunderstanding was left untouched. The issue is not hope itself but the expectations built on misleading cues. Such signals create pressure and allow a political vacuum to shape sentiment more than accurate information. All of this grew from a notice to rent two small cars. Kuwait today needs clarity, not ambiguous hints.
