| iraq has been run in one form or another by the british and americans since the 1920s, with a brief interlude between 1973, when the ba'ath party nationalised the oil industry (booting the westerners out), and 1991, when they imposed their will over her again. in 2003 they gave up on the charade and just took over altogether.
no doubt when the troops eventually move out, the IMF will move in |
