 Maps of WarPosted on Oct 5, 2006
This nifty animation shows the myriad empires that have controlled the cradle of civilization over the eons—and reminds us there’s nothing necessarily permanent about Iraq’s present cobbled-together status.

No… after seeing this map, nobody can claim itself as the sole answer for stability and rule over this land.
These people have endured occupation for millennia and came out the other side. The irony is how we in the west use history when it’s convenient. We call the Muslim states barbaric and backwards and and say - see how “History” has shows that they are often ruled by other empires and therefore it is OK that we are there now. The problem is that we can also use history to show who WE are- yet another plundering hoard marching across their lands in search of rule and riches.
