Sorry, but Yes.....and from your own link Monte. Nice try though with your Anti American rhetoric. Did you want to try and go back and blame the US for Who really was sitting on that perch and long before 1930? What happened?
In a rush to secure and expand their own supplies in the region, the British landed an expeditionary force near Basra in what is now Iraq in 1914. By 1918 the British captured Baghdad and ensconced themselves and their allies there, a perch from which they projected power for several decades. 5 American ascendance in the Persian Gulf later in the century created a new pattern of militarism and war.....snip~
Those that have been teaching you abroad. Should make sure they include all of history and not just their notion of it.
I see you conveniently excluded the last paragraph of my post in your quote, nice try, but I spoke to that, didn't I????
