In comparison even with other states in the Mideast, Iraq’s modern history has been marked by coups, bloodshed and mayhem
Last Friday’s bomb blast in the shiite holy city of Najaf, presumably by Baathist terrorists, might mark the beginning of internal violence among various groups in Iraqi society. If so, we may be in for a hellish ride. Iraq has one of the most violent histories of any country on the globe. In comparison even with other states in the Middle East, Iraq’s modern history has been marked by turmoil, coups, bloodshed and mayhem. Consider the fate of its rulers:
Faisal I: Installed by the British in the wake of a violent revolt, he ruled for 10 years and was one of a handful of Iraqi leaders to die of natural causes, in 1933.
Ghazi I: Faisal’s son, he witnessed a coup against his prime minister three years after being installed and then, in 1939, died mysteriously. The official explanation was that he drove his car into a lamppost.

2. If you look honestly it seems Iraq was quite stable before the Bush Blair Butchering.
3. Zakaria, any mention of Bush ordering the execution of Saddam's 2 sons and 1 14 year old grandson who could have been taken alive? Ooops... Whore!
