When? I am with Nadine on the facts and with you on your main contention. Mesopotamia was under Persian control in one form or another some 75% of its history. And the only times it has been stable in its long history has been when a it's been under a foreign control that acknowledged the reality of it and dispensed with justice fairly. On its own I don't think Iraq can ever be stable.
