[Constitutions Grandchild]

Remember, Iraqis are not Arabs. They are Persians. Arabs, however, have an almost genetic hatred of anything Western or associated with Israel's existence. It is going to take an Act of God to get a 2x4 big enough to overcome their hatred on steroids.

Persians, however, not only respected other cultures, but promoted the scientific advances and learning. They knew enough to send three wise guys when Jesus was born from what they had learned through Jews in Persia. Keep in mind, also, that Arabs are not among the great civilizations of the past, Saladin notwithstanding.

Um, you mean Iranians are Persians.
Iraqis are indeed Arabs.

Saladin, notwithstanding, or not, was actually a Kurd...
