Press

it was made from non existence by the british after WW2 .

the whole world is still paying the cost of the fall of the ottoman empire and
the greed of the british - french carving of the middle east , from palestine
to the sea of oman !

What a mess !

the brits and french did what victors usually do ...take the spoils...the ottoman turks also took these lands by the sword.....and the turks were decidedly not less greedy or brutal than the anglo /french...ask the arabs or armeniens how they liked being under the turkish boot...

 

The Ottomans were quite mild towards other Muslims. Also their Empire took about four centuries to slowly fall apart; all that time, local peoples managed to obtain more and more sovereignties and liberties from the central government. The Ottoman Empire that the British and French finally rolled up was little more than a loosely connected set of autonomous principalities, most of them heavily influenced by Western trade and ideas.

 

Back on the press many they should keep the body count of civilains instead just saying x number died today. The American army was supposed to do that. It was in an addition to Geneva convention during the 1970s I dont remember what the clause was but America was supposed to keep body count of dead civilians.

 

you means ......something like that

In a press release issued today by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s special Office of Looking on the Bright Side, the administration pointed out that despite continuing widespread and escalating violence in the chaotic region, nearly 21 million Iraqis have not yet been killed or wounded. This, while a decrease from the 21.5 million not yet killed or wounded highlighted in an earlier announcement, still represents, according to a Rumsfeld spokesmen, "a very large percentage of the populace thus far not yet killed or wounded."
