And the Iranian war lord was just over in Iraq checking his rental properties? The middle east is a mess, has been a mess for hundreds (thousands) of years and will remain so. Iraq is divided along religious lines. They all believe in the same thing but in slightly different ways so, kill each other. Yay religion!

You must learn your history from Channel 7's Today Tonight.
Seriously how can you be so ignorant, living in a conquered land? Something from a documentary or encyclopedia must have filtered in.
Iraq like Australia was created by the brits, that's the reason for the mess.
Learn some history, it may help you understand what, why and when things happen in the world.
The US just killed the equivalent of Michael McCormack while visiting New Zealand. Host - "And our next contestant is Fly Surfer. For $100,000 Fly Surfer, how did Iraq come into existence?"
FS - I know, I know! It created by Britain! It was created by Britain! I told you I am a clever bugger! See how smart I am!!!
Host - I'm sorry Fly Surfer but you are wrong. After World War I, Great Britain was given control of the region as a mandate of the League of Nations (the forerunner of today's United Nations, or UN). The mandate period lasted from 1920 to 1932, when Iraq became an independent constitutional monarchy under King Faisal I.
FS - No, no. It was created by the Brits! It was the Brits I tell you!
Host - Sorry Fly Surfer. It was the league of Nations which comprised the following members.
ARGENTINA, AUSTRALIA, BELGIUM, BOLIVIA, BRAZIL, CANADA, CHILE, CHINA, COLOMBIA, CUBA, CZECHOSLOVAKIA, DENMARK, EL SALVADOR, FRANCE, GREECE, GUATEMALA, HAITI, HONDURAS, INDIA, ITALY, JAPAN, LIBERIA, NETHERLANDS, NEW ZEALAND NICARAGUA, NORWAY, PANAMA, PARAGUAY, PERSIA, PERU POLAND, PORTUGAL, ROMANIA, SIAM, SPAIN, SWEDEN, SWITZERLAND, SOUTH AFRICA, UNITED KINGDOM, URUGUAY VENEZUELA, YUGOSLAVIA.
But as a consolation prize we will keep your identity secret to save you from embarrassment!
worldatwar.net/timeline/other/league18-46.htmlI agree what he did was wrong. No where did I say that it wasn't? Really don't understand why you would come after me for that post? Me? Ignorant?
And if you think the middle east became a mess because of that then you are a total galoot! Truly! And so is everyone who green thumbed you! Lol...
