Oh yes we have Churchill as one to thank in helping bring about the creation of Iraq. You remember, during the last wave of attempted Westernization of the Middle East. Well of course you don't remember or you'd see this is an exercise in futility

OOOohhh ok. And before I read your post I thought the problem with Iraq was Saddam Hussein. Now we know it was Winston Churchill. Thanks for feeling lining me out there.
