Just a couple of questions/comments:
Is this a paper on the History of Iraq or Saddam Hussein? Or just modern history of Iraq?
Because your paper quickly turned into a paper on a possible war on Iraq/terriorism/gulf war. You briefly mention the history in the beginning then that’s it. What about the Sarcens, the Ottomen Empire and the effects of the crusades, etc.???
Also, about Saddam, you left out his fascination with Stalin and Stalinist regimes. Also how he gained power, when as Bathe (sp) party leader he had all his opponents dragged out of the assembly and killed.
And it was HIS invasion of Kuwait that led to the Gulf war and the fact that Saudi Arabia was next. Ooops, getting off track.
My point is if this is a history paper on Iraq make sure you cover more then the last 30-40 years and don’t turn it into a “why we shouldn’t attack” paper or an “anti-republican/Bush” paper, unless of course that is the topic. If this is a factual history paper, it should be based on facts and not your own political beliefs. If it is and opinion paper then never mind.
Oh, and Saddam had the 3rd (I think) largest army in the world (in 1991) not the the deadliest. Sorry, off topic again.
