Iranian interference in Iraqi election stirs anger among Iraqis
Ali Akbar Velayati, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's top adviser on international affairs, paid an

What is this shit?
What I wrote up there are facts, the Shah was arrogant like the Kurds were given the strong US support. He started bullying his western neighbor with his superior navy in the waterway. Kuwait caused Iraq problems with slant drilling.
Now you may say Saddam's reactions are extreme but his actions don't come out of nowhere. Iran was causing problems, Kuwait was causing problems. Tthere were clashes and border incursions between Iraq and Iran in the late 70's well before the start of the war.

I've no problem trashing Saddam, but this forum is compromised out of pro-regime Iranians who will defend Khomeini till their death. An animal who refused the 1982 cease fire causing millions of more deaths. That's the difference
Given Iran's interference in the elections, Iraq should interfere in Khuzstan/Ahvwvaz. What is the worst that could happen? Of course you once again go by power, the strongest does as it wants. That's what Iran did before the Iran-Iraq war, you have no ground to blame us.
