Colonial Conquest of Iraq

Well as we all know, Britain is famous for its Colonial conquests, across the world. Apart from the Colonies it has yet to give up, such as Ireland, on all occassions the results followed the same basic rule.

Britain entered a land, used force to take control of that land, despite being an invading minority, divided its peoples, pulled out of the country and left it to tear itself apart. Countries in Africa, Asia, The Americas and even Australiasia were invaded by Britain and left in tatters. Some countries still bear the mark; Examples such as Australia's flag, Hawaii's Flag, the Queens face on Canadian coinage etc etc. Other countries are still "controlled" by the British crown, such as Ireland, Scotland and Wales and also the Falkland Islands etc.

Anyway today we were greeted with the News, that after six years of occupation, combat operations in Iraq will cease. 234 Brits were killed, and at least 7,269 Iraqis murdered. We saw Sadam Hussein face the hangmans noose, and where as I don't think his Regime was fair or just, his murder was immoral. Tyrants hanging Tyrants. And what was it all for? Weapons of Mass destruction, that the governments had irrifutable evidence off? Yet they found none.

What will they leave behind? You guessed it. Divided people, that will most likely tear themselves apart. "Iraqi insurgents" have not been wiped out, or defeated, and they will now fight back. Histroys habit of repeat is striking sometimes.


God Bless
