Good, good.

I agree. When Iraq and Iran were of relatively equal strength and each were led by different types of madmen, and after having slaughtered each other for ten years, there was some balance of power.

Then we went and weakened Iraq to the point that the Iran raggedys just moseyed on in.

And now they're "allies".

Now the main conflict is between Saudi and it's Arab allies and Iran and it's.

Trump is doing a very good job of isolating Iran, even from Russia.

I hate to see Iraq call Iran an ally, though. Troublesome.

Whatever happened to Iraq anyway? :)

I have to read up on them. I dont even know what type of govt they have or if things AT LEAST turned out somewhat well after the TONS of $$ and much worse, lives we poured into it.

It DIDNT have to be a disaster.

Bush could have kept paying part of the army and the police to keep peace there and focused on keeping Iran out and corporate looters from stealing trillions from us instead of actually rebuilding the country.

Many Iraqis were slightly optimistic in the beginning.

We ####ed that up.

Oh well.

Ciao
