Doomed To Repeating Historical Blunders

"Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them."---George Santayana

It was another time, but, the same place, where the land of Iraq was targeted for "liberation" and plunder by Western powers.

That was in 1917, when the British Empire captured Baghdad from the Turkish Army.

It is evident that the British & French, had planned the attack on the Iraq, and the theft of its oil, as early as 1916.

The same old story was presented to the Iraqi people: "we come to liberate you!"

Soon after, the Iraqi's saw through the charade and rightly concluded that the West came to "liberate" their oil from their rightful owners.

Then, as in know, a strong national resistance was born, which subsequently forced the British to withdraw from Iraqi occupied terrritory.
