Good link kegs, reminded me of Bremner Bird & Fortune's "Between Iraq and a Hard Place" on channel 4 a while ago. Interestingly enough it was
the RAF who were the first to use chemical weapons against the people of Iraq- dropping mustard gas on Baghdad in 1922.
I am taking a graduate history course called The American Image of the Middle East, very appropo no? Anyway the instructor is considered one of the
THE scholars on this topic. I printed this out for him to read and he loved it.
Excellent link!! Scored me some brownie points anyway
