I see the Iraqi government (read US and UK governments) are building a wal to separate the Sunni and the Shia?

Question

Just after the last war the British government carved up a vast landmass called Arabia. Part of this land was called IRAQ. There was no reason for the bringing this area together as one nation since it had always contained three different and waring tribes. In order to make sure the three tribes did not go to war again. They put in place a strong tribal leader called Sadam Husain. He maintained the peace in this land for 50 years, albeit by force. But the fact is that most Iraqi people today would gladly have this dictator back, if it got rid of the US and UK troops.

Answer 1

I don't even know where to start, there is so much wrong with what you posted.

First, after WW l, the Ottoman empire was broken up. not arabia.

Two, Saddam wasn't in power for 50 years.

Saddam didn't assume power untill 1979, then Iraq was a soviet client state.

I'd say you might find about 10% of the iraqi population who would want saddam back in power, mainly sunni's.

You will find no Kurds or Shia's who want saddam back in power or wish iraq was like it was before 2003.

Answer 2

the truth of the matter is that a wall wouldnt really do anything anyways as has already been proven in Israel and Palestine, the politicians could be considering a "banterstan" solution similar to the recently sovereign countries from the former southern soviet union ie, Kazakastan, Turkmenistan, etc, however, this sort of thing wont be happening any time soon, not until big oil has completed its ongoing project, as far as the Iraqi people go, they do not matter at this point, anybody who does not realize this is obviously blind, Neither politician or Oil man cares what happens to the Iraqi people, which is why they stand by idly as the situation worsens, their pockets are lined with the gold that they have won from this war by successfully removing iraqi oil from the market, why on earth would they want to install a successful government that would prevent them from raping people at not only the pumps but just the price for a barrel of oil in general, until the people realize that this war is all about the united states and its sickening oil strategies, there will be no peace anywhere near iraq

Answer 3

In history, the British poked their noses into everyone elses business including the mess in Iraq. You must understand that the British were fighting a serious war in the Middle East c1914-1918 and they actually managed to win it.

The British having managed to persuade the Arabs with the help of Lawrence to come together as a nation and fight the Turks and get them out of Arabia. The Turks occupied all the land right upto and including Syria - in fact Lawrence and his mob of barbarians managed to take Damascus and hold until the British regular army arrived.

The situation in Iraq was stablised by the Brits. The main and only real reason why the British spend so much time and effort in that Middle Eastern war of WW-One, was entirely to do with oil.

Frankly, no one gives a damn what the people of Iraq want, not even the Arab League - not a single squeek from them yet and not likely to either.

Everyone in the Arab world fear the Taliban, especially the Royal House of Saud. They are going to say nothing anti-American or anti-British. The rest of the Arabs will do as they are told. The British Foreign Office have a lot of influence in the region, in spite of what people might think.

Even today, people in the Arab world name their sons "Lawrence" - ask youself why? Nothing has changed except the date.

All that UK wants is for the Americans to shut up and allow we the British to win the hearts and minds of the people. We are doing that big time in Afghanistan and could easily do the same in the Middle East - in time.

The wall going up in Baghdad is not specifically based upon the Israeli idea of a wall separating themselves from the Palestinians, but more based upon how the British managed to contain the IRA in Northern Ireland. Walls went up in London Derry and I think also Belfast. These walls kept the two communities apart with massive security on entry and exit from either side. It worked. Result, peace and power sharing in Northern Ireland. The same could work in Baghdad and the wider Iraq. Time is on our side.

Oh and one more minor point. Had it not been for the Americans financing the IRA for so long, it is highly probable that the British would have got on top of the IRA situation far quicker. Thanks for your help. Now just shut the f up and let us do the job we are best at - winning the hearts and minds of the people. We did it in Malaya, why not Iraq?

Answer 4

Answer 6

I'll leave the correct history to those who know, however, the building of the wall really seems to me like a last ditch attempt.
