In Reply to: Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Iran at war with Iraq?......n/t posted by John EH on January 18, 2007 at 03:24:30:
Do you recall who invaded who at the start of that little unpleasantness? Hint - Iraq crossed the border into Iran.
The war began when Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980 following a long history of border disputes and demands for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime. The conflict saw early successes by the Iraqis, but before long they were repelled and the conflict stabilized into a long war of attrition.Gee, look at that, the Iranians were even calling for the overthrow of Saddam. It sure is hard to tell your friends from your enemas these days, isn't it?
