For an example: most Americans don't know that the British empire pitted Arabs and Turks against each other, and when they had killed thousands of each other; the British moved in and occupied the region. This occurred in the 1920s, and they occupied Iraq and defined the map in that part of the world, as we know it today. They promised the Arabs sovereignty and autonomy, and did not keep their promises. How can you promise men sovereignty and autonomy in their own country?
This occupation lasted several years, and was undermined by freedom and resistance fighters. Does this sound like deja vu? The USA's invasion and occupations in the Middle East is history or mankind ignorantly repeating itself.
You can research this yourself by looking it up at the online encyclopedia "www.Wikipedia.com", or do a google.com or ask.com search. Also, the BBC is another good reference source.
