When did the US and other nations invade Afghanistan and Iraq?
The US and other nations invaded Afghanistan and Iraq shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The US invaded Afghanistan first because that's where the Al Queada terrorists who masterminded and executed the Sept 11 attacks, were primarily living and conducting their terrost activities from. The Taliban who were at that time running the Afghanistan government gave shelter, protection and permission to Al Queda to live and operate in Afghanistan. Initially the US demanded the Taliban give Al Queda members to the US, when the Taliban refused, the US invaded Afghanistan to eliminate the harsh fanatical Taliban government (and restore democracy to the Afghan people) and capture or kill Al Queda. Shortly therafter, the US invaded Iraq when President Bush was concerned for the US' safety after Saddam Hussein kicked out the international nuclear and chemical weapons investigators. Iraq refused entry to the international communities nuclear and chemical investigators and caused concern globally because no one knew whether or not Iraq actually did have weapons of mass destruction ("WMD"). The US intelligence agencies concluded that Iraq did have WMD. Although this intelligence proved to be inaccurate. It is better to be safe than sorry, and thus it made sense for the US to invade Iraq. If Saddam Hussein would have just come clean and let the nuclear inspectors in to investigate, the whole Iraq war could have been avoided.

Which commands did David break?
He broke ALL of them:
He committed adultery with Bathsheba and sent her husband (I think Uriah) to the front lines in his army to get him killed.
The Bible Will Keep Us from Sin, or Sin Will Keep Us from the Bible. Psalm 119:11 states, "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." King David said he had memorized God's Word, i.e., hid the Bible in his heart, to help him gain victory over sin in his personal life. Hebrews 4:12 reads, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." What a powerful Book! No Christian magazine, book, or daily devotional can compare to the power of God's Word! No wonder David said in Psalm 1:1-2, "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." David had learned a painful lesson from the horrible sins he had committed (adultery and murder). David's entire family turned against him. David's kingdom fell into ruin. Absalom was killed. Bathsheba's child died. David's name became mud. As an old man, broken and tired, he writes the Psalms. David now realizes that it is God whom he has sinned against, because he had broken all of the Ten Commandments. God's Law will keep us from sin, if we fear God enough to obey Him. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Believer%27s%20Corner/victory.htm
Iraq is a very hot and very dry country. They have long hot summers and very short, cool winters.
Why does Iran want a democratic Iraq?
There are three major reasons for this view.
Shi'a Brotherhood
Iran and Iraq have a very strong religious connection, namely that the majorities of both countries are Shi'a. There is also a strong historic connection between the populations of Iran and Iraq. However, all of the dictatorships (from the Umayyad's onwards) in Iraq were ruled by Sunnis who repressed the Shi'a culture, prevented Shi'a from visiting their holy sites and celebrating their holidays. Since Iraq is the one of the few majority-Shi'a states, Iran wants to build a strong cultural connection. A democracy allows the Shi'a to become the majority and this cement this relationship. (This type of relationship is similar to how the United States and Canada, which are based on similar historic circumstances have a strong relationship.)
Expansion of Iranian Influence
Iran is looking to be a regional power and for many years Saddam Hussein and Iraq in general were checking Iranian influence. Iran currently supports Hamas and Hezbollah to control politics in Palestine and Lebanon respectively and directly supports the Syrian Dictatorship of Bashar Al-Assad. If Iran supports democratic parties in Iraq that eventually clinch the seats in Parliament, they begin to have a hand in influencing the direction of Iraqi Policy and have an ally instead of an adversary on their borders.
Similar Pasts, General Positivity
Iranians like anybody else, like people to be free to express their own desires and choose their own destiny. Iran sees its government as the response to a people being repressed by the Shah and desiring an alternate route. Similarly, Iraq was held down by Saddam Hussein and the new government allows Iraqis to voice their own opinions, choosing their own destiny.
Islamic law applies in just three countries Iraq Iran and Afghanistan?
Islamic Law, or Shariah must be applied in any Islamic state. Nowadays there is no Islamic state, just countries where the Constitution and the laws are more or less inspired from the Shariah. All the countries that have Muslim population as a majority have altered laws from the Shariah. People tend to think that all the laws of a country where there are Muslims are "Islamic", but they are wrong.
Is the flying garden of Babylon in Iraq?
It's actually called the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

When was Matt maupin captured from Iraq?
Matt Maupin, a US Private First Class, was captured by Iraqi insurgents on 9th April 2004, and executed by them on 28th June 2004.
What to put in care packages to Iraq for the soldiers?
I am not packing any in this go-around. But, I have done it before. When I sent homemade 'cookies', I put them into an aluminum pan as BARs instead of little cookies. They travel better that way. Anything you send should be in disposable containers. And, I sent store bought cookies with zip lock bags so they could be resealed. With the bugs and sand, they need a way to seal things and they do not have the plastic containers over there that we have in our kitchens! If you send plastic containers, they can reuse them as packing containers for socks or underwear, or give them to an Iraq household to store food!
Of course, brownies are a premium. But, do NOT put any frosting on them. If you send brownies, make two pans; one with and one without nuts (friends, you know! Some are allergic.) If you feel you MUST send frosting, put it in a disposable container with a plastic knife so it can be spread on when it gets there (a paper cup from the fast food restaurant with a lid in a zip lock bag, or such). Remember, it is Generally HOTTER there than here. So, if it does not melt in transit, it will when it gets there. So, think of heat and cold in transit; as well as Rough handling.
Whether they are male or females, soldiers like to snack!! So, check it out, I found that the pop-corn that has it's own pan to pop in (we are not to use brand names) is good...they often have access to microwaves, but not always!! They do not weigh a lot, the shelf life is long, and they can be heated up out in the field. What more could they ask for! If you know your soldier is around a microwave, throw in that type! OR, if he/she is generally in the field, throw in these for when they are around a microwave! Or so they have something to barter with!
Another thing to send is GUM. Send a wide selection. If your soldier does not like a flavor, he/she can share or barter. Be sure NOT to send the kind without sugar as it is not healthy, and we do not want anyone to be negatively affected by thatl.
I just heard about a new snack. It is fruit chips. That means it is healthy and a snack. What could be better for them? And, I just got some things that are similar to fruit roll-ups. But, they are not the candy. They are strawberries and apples. I got them at the big "W", which is around in most cities (I am not supposed to give any brand, but I will give a big hint!)
Personal hygiene products are really important. Size is the key; big is not in; small is. That way, they can be taken with and packed in small spaces!! Soldiers love things like shampoo and baby wipes (showers are not a daily thing out in the field, and these make-do). There are special bath wipe things, but baby wipes work fine, and the packaging is great! The little refills simply go into the duffel bags. Also, there are products that are non-wash shampoo hair things; we used to just put like a powder in. But, find what you can find in your local shops (if you have a beauty supply shop, great!). And, baby powderfor chaffing in the heat (non-fragrance, especially for the men) as well as lotion,because it is so arid. Baby lotion is all purpose, and again it can be found without a fragrance.
Of course, heart attacks are prevented by good dental hygiene. So, send dental floss, those picks, and small tubes of tooth paste. They probably get sand into their stuff a lot, so they probably would enjoy a new brush more often than normal, right? And, they are small and cheap! So, give it to them to use, share, and enjoy!
The list can contain healthy things like vitamins. Not the junk kind. Go to the mall and get some good ones; they can advise you on a GOOD MULTI-Vitamin. The better the soldier feels the better they can wear those heavy flack jackets and carry all that stuff they have to have on them so they can return home safe and sound! In return, what is a little bit of vitamins?
AND, if you have children, have them draw pictures on some paper. NOT fancy pictures. Just with markers or crayons. The younger the child, the better. Be sure to label the picture as to who draw it, and what it is. Have them start by drawing an outline of their hand or their foot.
If you have flowers in the yard, cut a few small ones, put them between some waxed paper, lay them on the floor in an out of the way place for a day or two with a book or two on top of them to flatten them. Again, you can label them as you gently place the waxed paper into an envelope saying these are the flowers from the flowerbed in the south corner and I think of how we planted the bush together, and I wish you were here to enjoy the fragrance with me....or something to that effect.
You can even clean out the hair out of your hairbrush, put it in a baggie, and send it. (IF MARRIED, Let your romance mind wander!) Again, if you have children, have each child clean out a hairbrush, or snip a lock of hair, bag it and send it. If the child is an infant, just clip a lock, tape it on a recipe card and label it. It will travel fine and be carried and treasured very well after it gets there. If you have a small photo, tapethat on the card, also.
Believe it or not, little things like these will mean more than the junk from the store. But, they will use the things from the store; they will love the memory items.

What are some of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers problems?
Answer 1
Iraq is polluting some of the water which affects the Persian gulf and Syria's and Turkey's proportion of the water.
Answer 2
The biggest current issue surrounding the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers are the attempts by the Turkish government to place dams on those rivers, substantially cutting the down-river flow to Syria and Iraq. Turkey claims it needs the dams for hydroelectric power.
Additionally, as mentioned above, the rivers are getting rather polluted from all three countries using them, but primarily Iraq as Iraq has the longest stretch of the rivers.
Are Asia Iraq and Arabia too dependent on oil?
Asia is a huge continental area of many countries, so which country do you mean?
'
Iraq and Saudi Arabia are heavily dependent on exporting their oil - whether that makes them "too" dependent is a moot point at present, but will become a vital one in the future.
