That is even further proof that Sumerians belong to the Arabid race.

Prior to picking up the semetic language from Somalids it is understood by many that the language of the Arabid people was probably similar to modern day Dagestani language or other caucassian languages from that area.

The caucusses region is rich with its languages and language families. That also explains why the sumerians spoke a language isolate.

I have just learned that "sumer" is a south azarbayjani ancient word which means either "brave man" or" barbari bread".

south azarbayjani's history began with Sumer and ended up with Qajars, Interesting ,is not it ?!!! I am very happy of having a Sumeri husband :))))

@modallas2 me too , you also have to read source that has creditable info

@danielkachal

Anyways, I need to run. Nice arguing with you. But read a neutral book about the war. Especially books that came out recently after the invasion of iraq and teh fall of saddam.

Recent books will have declassified documents and have much more accurate information.

@modallas2 first of iraq had 4700 tanks and iran didn't got all missiles to gether and no all the missile heat the targer....are you ok just go search USA help to IRAQ .... even when usa attacked iraq , there were still iraqi soldiers in usa for raining .. you don't want to listen and i will not talking with wall

@danielkachal

When this became obvious to Arabs, they did the right and sensible thing. Since iraq initiated the war, they offered iran economic reparations and asked them to end the war.

Why bleed teh two countries to death? But iran refused.

So we (the non iraqi arabs) did the right thing when the objective of the war (as far as the west were concerned) became clear to us.

Think about it. You'll get it.

@modallas2 this a pointless argue and you don't want to listen ..after Accepting the un resolution IRAQ accaked iran again with ehlp of MOJAHEDIN( a terrorist groiup) but it failed to gain any thing and under international pressure again accepted the resolution .. check wiki or any where else iran took back Shatalarab in 1988 and iraq got nothing .. even by all waepons

@danielkachal

Sure. 2500 tow missiles. Iraq had less than 2000 tanks. If Iraq's tanks were gone the war would have been over. Sure America supported iraq. But it was a very limited support. Which should prove to you that their objects was for the two countries to bleed each other to death. Initially the fooled saddam into invading iraq. All declassified documents show that saddam was very reluctant about invading iran but americans promised him heavens and the earth. And they were lying to him

@danielkachal

There was even israeli support for iran during the war. The reason is simple. The big powers wanted to the two countries to bleed each other to death.

This became evident to the arabs early on and that is why they made iran the offer. The arabs preferred an iraqi defeat where they end up paying the bill, rather than a useless aimless war. Iran did not want that. Iran wanted to fight and fight and fight and export its revolution, and pray in kerbala and the rest of it.
