I dunno nothing about nothing but it would be pretty funny if the US did try to invade again but Iran sent reinforcements to aid Iraq's defense, united with Iraq against the common enemy that is The Great Satan

it feels sort of morbid to say so but I was so relieved when it was announced who was on that plane, and there were no Americans listed

it sucks that everyone else died but it's very easy to imagine one or more American deaths having been a pretense for escalation of the conflict regardless of what actually caused the plane to crash

Anarchists have a bigger footprint in the middle East compared to most Marxist groups, oddly enough. I assume that's mostly because of US intervention, but

Yes, for instance you realize that the reason that Saddam was bankrolled by the US for as long as they did was because he was a dutiful scourge of the Iraqi communists, right?
