Royal Air Force In Iraq.

[stuey]

Here is a really, interesting article concerning the effects of the RAF's bombing of Iraq. Perhaps it should have been posted in History; however, there seems to be more activity here. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29441383

Dear Editor;
This thread does not appear to have much of a future here, so could you please move it to "History"?:)

interesting stuff, but I suppose it is history - the mess the west has made by interfering in the Middle East for quite some time now

Yes, jno, I found it a fascinating glimpse back into history. It's interesting to see how many "big" names were mentioned and how they keep recurring throughout those times: David Lloyd George, Churchill, Lord Thompson, "Bomber" Harris, T.E. Lawrence, but I do confess I'll have to look up Gertrude Bell.
