The thing is with history and the reasons for war, its all usually written by the peolpe that won the war so never usually acurate...

Which is why the Romans brought civilisation to england of course.

We all know that it was really the Ancient Persians in their flying saucers which they nicked off of the aliens whilst the aliens were sighteseeing over the Nevada Desert.


EDIT: You know... I don't know what it is about talking about history but it brings out the worst in me. I do apologise. I'll try and post again tommorrow when I'm not so tired.

The Bill Hicks bit about weaponary shouldn't be on any GCSE course because although funny its massively inaccurate. The USSR and France were Iraq's major source of weaponary (France sold Iraq nuclear reactors which the Israeli's bombed, Iraq's weapons in the Gulf War were largely Soviet, French with various other stuff such as Brazilian APCs.

I am sure you are correct about the source of the weapons systems themselves, but I dare say the US provided a boat load of funding so he could go and attack Iran.
