"That is what the "Hasemite Restoration" is all about. It was a Hasemite King that was disposed. :>)" How about a return to pre-WW1 borders for all concerned. Of course that would leave the Jews in Europe so Israel wont be a problem. And the French would get Iraq? Am i right about that? Perhaps thats what Chirac is angling for? <g> mike

Yes, a Hashemite King was installed by the British in Iraq 1918 or so, with the breakup of the Ottoman empire. May as well go for a Pahlavi restoration in Iran too, while we're at it.
