Iraq getting restless again
Looks like they're getting itchy feet and looking for a fight. Tariq Aziz (the Iraqi PM) is claiming Kuwait's part of Iraq again. There's been a small incident invoving a mortar and some AK-47 fire aimed at Kuwait on the border.
*Sigh*

The world is going to hell in a handcart. Or a bus. One of the two.
Why can't people, you know, just get along. And why are Arabs the centre of every war at the moment?
Now, aren't you sorry you didn't just keep on scrolling?

You'd prefer being on the business end of an arsenal of nukes instead ?

Politics is ... well we need it.
When a race becomes complex enough, it needs ways to govern itself and what not. Now you could have a totalitarianistic dictatorship eg. Hitler, or there are lots of options.
Most popular being that you have a number of people representing the public. This is politics. The governing of peoples, carrying oneself with a quiet dignity in the nation's eye, all parts of politics.

 More here than meets the eye
Looks like they're getting itchy feet and looking for a fight. Tariq Aziz (the Iraqi PM) is claiming Kuwait's part of Iraq again. There's been a small incident invoving a mortar and some AK-47 fire aimed at Kuwait on the border.
What's going on here? Iraq must know that the USA is searching for a good enough reason to start bombing Iraq again. Perhaps Saddam doesn't care as he believes he can be more succesful this time at getting most of the Arab world to join forces with him?
They'll have to be careful though, If Iraq gives the USA too much of a reason, they won't get much sympathy from the other arab states.
Everything I say is either loose interpretation of dubious facts or idle speculation rooted in irrational sentiment.
