Hi twfowler; Iraq has been in existence as a chunk of territory for millions of years. Human habitation there dates back at least a hundred thousand years. The current main ethnic group (Arab) first conquered the place more than a thousand years ago.

Saying that Iraq didn't exist before 1917 is like saying that Ireland didn't exist before 1922, and that is simply piss ignorant.
