Water is an important commodity in the ME. I never contested that it has caused tensions between countries. Yes I agree, but Zonder is convinced this is a big joke. I am convinced that your idea that US may have invaded Iraq partly to control the waters of Tigris and Euphrates flowing through it IS a "big joke". If you didn't get it the first three times I explained it, you probably never will, but here it is in a nutshell: Those two rivers flow from Iraq into the sea. That is, Iraq is not upriver from anywhere, and hence controlling Iraq's water gives you power on no other country in the Middle East.
