Quote by: Boetie This is just history repeating itself. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Iraq was supposed to gain autonomy, but Britain wanted the oil, so Britain kept it as a colony. This was back in 1920. What is happening now happened then.
The British got sick of all the terrorism back in 1920 and bailed out. But before they did they set up a king in order to prevent warring between the three tribes.
The tribes fought like cats and dogs until Saddam took power.
History would have told you that if you go in there like the current tyrants of the United States did, you're going to bring back the chaos that happened back in 1920. Duh |
That's what Lawrence of Arabia was all about, right?
