  • A tiny mistake in this report: the photo of Abdul Rahman Arif is not his. This is a photo of the Regent Abdul Ilah, a common error that I sow on the net often

  • It's was a good lesson to the western democracies; never depend on dictators. This is why the policies now changes. This is why the US let the Iraqis after 2003 to choose their ow,n leaders.

  • According to Palestinean Historian Hanna Batatu, the CIA provided the Baath Party in 1963 with thousands of lists with the names and addresses of Communists whom the American government wanted the Baath to execute.

  • @MrChickyBee

    The Americans had nothing to do with 1918. That was the Brits and the French.

  • Unfortunately, at the end of the day, the weak lose and the strong win. Even if Iraq gave America the Sun and Moon, it wouldn't matter. America is thirsty for black water and they will do anything for it. Anything. No wonder why they turn to religion. All they have is prayer.

  • Framing the entire political developments in modern Iraq through direct loyalties to Britain or America is a little dubious. I think a lot of the people you say were "loyal" probably hated the West. For crying out loud, the Ba'th Party hated everyone with equal passion.

  • Good old days :D

  • nasser was never an american agent

    on the contrary, he was on cia's assinations list

  • This is a wonderful documentary. The British and Americans should be ashamed of the mess they made not only in 1918 but also here. What is sad and pathetic is when the Iraqis stand up for themselves they described as being terrorists.
