Iraquis Resent Occupation
No it's not ripped from today's headlines. It's the conclusion of a British writer in March of 1920 commenting on the deep resentment which the Sunnis, the Shi'ahs and even the Sadr family have for anyone, in her case the British, occupying their country. It leaves one to wonder what the spooks at the CIA and MI6 were doing in advance of our invasion. They sure didn't Google! Check out these observations at: Echoes from the Past
