Before the imposition of the siege on Iraq in the year 91, Iraq had the strongest army in the Middle East, and every Iraqi family was getting 12 food items for free, and farmers in Iraq and Iraq were supported by drugs, and every Iraqi citizen was getting a salary of no less About 4000 dollars, but because of the embargo on Iraq in 91 and then the war in 2003, everything in Iraq was destroyed, and so far the Bush administration has not been punished. In addition, there were in Iraq more than 100 scientists in the field of nuclear energy, almost who made a government in Iraq is worse than Saddam Hussein, and he destroyed Iraq for the sake of oil

The Babylonian civilization is present in Iraq more than 7000 years ago. And Saddam Hussein did not say that it is mine, although I disagree with him, and I do not like Saddam Hussein, but the American empire project that was led by the foolish Bush destroyed Iraq and destroyed America as well. Now the American debt is almost 30 trillion

Hey I have a question Is there any particular reason that Saddam hussein built his palace in Babylon
@culersforever
Жыл бұрын
@@_Anonymous_682 Hello Dear, There is no main reason for Saddam Hussein to build his palace in Babylon. He had previously built palaces in separate areas of Baghdad and throughout Iraq, such as Tikrit and Basra. He built the Babylon Palace during the war with Kuwait, and perhaps he wanted to show the world that he was strong in fighting that war, and the most likely possibility He wanted to give himself the image of the mighty great man who could control the whole world, deriving that from the ancient kings of Babylon, such as Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled the world previously. This is evident from the statues and pictures that were of Saddam in his palace, which show Saddam as one of the ancient kings of Babylon.
Really we enjoying your nice videos. It's so beautiful to see our beautiful cities. 🇮🇶. Thanks so much Mr. Doug Bernard.

Great video as usual. You should have visited both Ur and Uruk too since even the name of Iraq is thought to be driven from them (3800 BC). If you are interested there are hundreds of arcological sites in Iraq most of them are either neglected or unexcavated yet. The national museums also are another fun places to visit.
Great job

I definitely don't miss the 130 degree days, in full uniform, vest, helmet, gloves, boots, long sleeves, sitting in the back of an armored vehicle that was basically a gigantic easy-bake oven lol. We were up in Kirkuk and the kurds there were some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. Would love to go back as a tourist.
السلام عليكم انا من العراق ،صدام حسين هو شخص سيء جداا كان يدمر بمساجد الشيعة ومزاراتهم في كربلاء والنجف ومهاجمة عتباتهم المقدسة في المدينتين بالطائرات وإلحاق دمار واسع بالأضرحة وقباب الإمام علي بن أبي طالب في النجف الاشرف والإمام الحسين وأخيه العباس في كربلاء وتخريبها عمدا، و يقدر سقوط ومقتل تحو 30,000 شخص أغلبهم تم دفنهم في مقابر جماعية،و كثير من العلماء تم قتلهم با أشد التعذيبات على يده ،العنة على صدام . شكرا لكم لزيارتكم للعراق❤
