well saddam damn near wiped out the kurds after the iran war so :ehh: you have a point.

damn near but then they were in kurdistan and he never messed with them

I have a iraqi friend at work and she's Assyrian(chaldean), when saddam was in power she used to go back and visit had no problems etc.

Why would I want to go to Iraq? All I'm saying is that I commend their actions against the most destructive race to ever live on earth. you shedding tears for this crackkka but what about the thousands of women and children that the US killed over the years in Iraq via drone strikes?
you sound like you wanted in on the action. I was just checkin to see if you were about that life. I guess we all know the answer to that.

are we going to forget how horrible egypt is now without mubarak?:

Egypt under Mubarak was a terrible, corrupt, repressive military dictatorship.

Egypt today is a terrible, corrupt, repressive military dictatorship.

this is funny.

I guess it's easier to vomit out these racist, orientalist stereotypes about Arabs and Muslims than to look at these failed attempts at democracy within the context of the history of the region. like how the West has long encouraged fundamentalist Islam and other reactionary forces to suppress the embryonic social struggles in Arab & Muslim countries and how any instance of democratic, leftist or liberal impulses were stamped out and suppressed.

no, it's easier to label A-rabs as a subhuman race of savages that need a *strongman* to keep them in check.

ISIS was getting covert support from the Saudis a couple years ago. They have American weapons because the Iraqi army got so shook they had guys defect to ISIS. Especially Sunni Iraqi Arabs who were opposed to Maliki and his division politics.

ISIS isn't getting support from the major players now. They took over oil fields in Syria and now some in Iraq. They are selling it on the black market, they have loads of cash and are recruiting more men by the day.

Bashar Al Assad has had the upper hand at various points in the Syrian civil war but with ISIS there's more men coming than they can kill :damn: and they're coming from all over.

ISIS is on some next level shid Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, etc

can i get a break down?
so far as i know we have always been beefing with Fidel.

Because Fulgencio Batista was a corrupt dictator, a puppet of the U.S. who allowed the U.S. to exploit Cuba for money.

Fidel tried to take Batista out legally, since he was a lawyer, but seeing that he couldn't since the government was corrupt, he decided to take out Batista with an armed revolt. In 1953 Fidel led an attack on the Moncada Barracks in Cuba, but failed. Many of his comrades died and many others were tortured and killed. Fidel along with his brother and a few others was sent to prison. Batista decided to release Fidel and his followers due to international pressure, and exiled them to Mexico. There Fidel would meet the Famous Argentine revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. by 1956 fidel had a new crew of rebels and in 1956 set sail for Cuba in a boat named "Granma" after 3 years of fighting in the mountain's of Cuba, the Sierra Maestra, Che Guevara led an attack on the city of Santa clara, this was the last blow of the regime on Batista, Batista fled Cuba on new years eve 1959 and Fidel and his rebels marched victorious into Havana.

This pretty on point and what remember learning in school
