Was chretien the prime minister during the Iraq war?
No, Jean Chrétien was not the Prime Minister of Canada during the Iraq War, which began in 2003. He served as Prime Minister from 1993 to 2003, and his government opted not to participate in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Paul Martin succeeded Chrétien and became Prime Minister in December 2003, after the war had already started.
How long is an F-16 Jet flight from US to Iraq?
The flight duration of an F-16 jet from the U.S. to Iraq typically ranges from 12 to 16 hours, depending on the specific departure point, flight path, and refueling needs. Factors like airspace restrictions and weather conditions can also influence the total flight time. Additionally, F-16s often require mid-air refueling, which can extend the overall journey.
Why were many world leaders concerned about Saddam Hussein occupation of Kuwait?
They believed he would attack Saudi Arabia and eventually control the worlds oil supply.
Even though there was little concern about Kuwait itself - when one corrupt dictatorship takes over another corrupt dictatorship, little has been lost - the concern was that if Saddam can take over Kuwait and get away with it, what other countries would he try to take over next? How far did his ambitions extend? It is worth noting that at the time, Saddam said that the reason why he invaded Kuwait was to liberate Palestine, which means that he was building an empire with which eventually to attack Israel, and that would have been a much more destructive conflict. And even that would not necessarily have been the end of his conquests. Today Kuwait, tomorrow the world!
What cities in iraq did desert storm take place?
Operation Desert Storm primarily focused on military operations in Kuwait and southern Iraq, particularly around cities like Basra and Al-Qadisiyyah. While the campaign aimed to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation, it involved airstrikes and ground assaults that affected various regions in Iraq. Major urban centers like Baghdad were not directly targeted during the initial stages, as the focus was on expelling Iraqi forces from Kuwait.
True. During the 1991 Gulf War, participation from Eurasian nations in the American-led coalition was limited. Most of the coalition forces were composed of Western countries, with some participation from Arab states, while many Eurasian nations remained neutral or did not contribute troops. The coalition was primarily supported by countries in the Middle East and Western Europe.
What happened after president Bush said the war had ended in Iraq?
After President Bush declared the end of major combat operations in Iraq on May 1, 2003, the situation in the country deteriorated into a prolonged insurgency and sectarian violence. Despite the initial swift military victory, Iraq faced challenges such as the rise of insurgent groups, instability, and a lack of effective governance. This led to a protracted conflict that lasted for years, resulting in significant casualties and contributing to ongoing turmoil in the region. The declaration was later criticized as premature, given the ensuing chaos and the difficulties in rebuilding the nation.
Answer 1
there are some wahhabi groups in Iraq.
shia and sunni have disagreements but not conflict.
shia and sunni have mainly conflict on Imamat (leadership).
shia say Imamat is one of 5 pillars of Islam and only God can select leader for people. but sunni say Imamat is not part of Islam and leader can be selected by people by any method like shura (for example for Abubakr) or by will of previous leader for example for Omar) or by people (for example for Ali).
the conflict of shia and sunni has been always amplified by world Imperialism to prevent Islam from spreading in world.
Answer 2
Most of the conflicts in Iraq today have little to do with theological issues. That is to say that Shiites are not killing Sunnis over whether Abu Bakr or Ali was the proper first Caliph. Do these groups have theological disagreements, yes, but that is not the cause of the friction. The conflict in Iraq also has little to do with economic factors. Unlike the Arab Spring, which arose due to dictatorial governments' failures to give out jobs, it was quite clear that the newly-created Iraqi government had no jobs to give and therefore conflict or revolution would not solve the problem.
The conflict in Iraq is a conflict between ideologies. Many Westerners try to oversimplify the various "sides" of the conflict by saying "Sunnis, Shias, and Kurds" but this fails to explain why most Shia deaths in Iraq are caused by Shia (if not by Coalition Forces). Different groups want an Iraq that has a more religious base, others want a secular base. Some want a federal system, whereas others want a tribal system. Some want right-wing economics, others want socialism. Some want ethnic regional power, while others want a strong central government. Some want only a national army, while others want some ethnic militias, and while others want a fully local defense core. This makes the negotiations fraught with complexity and some groups would prefer not leave the success of their ideology to chance.
Once again- Tell her goodbye. She knows or ought to know that it must be killing you and yet she did it anyway. There is no excuse for that and no coming back from that that I can see.

What a strange (yet hilarious) question.
How many Mormons live in Iraq?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not report official membership numbers for Iraq for two reasons:
A. the membership in Iraq is mostly military service members and therefore changes often.
B. the Church does not have an "official" presence in Iraq.
Despite the fact that there is no 'official' church presence in Iraq, there are Mormons in Iraq. In 2009, the church established the "Baghdad Iraq Military District" which reported approximately 1,300 members in several military base congregations. However in 2011 US Military forces withdrew and the district was dissolved. Today, Mormon worship services are held weekly in Baghdad. The Baghdad congregation is under the direction of the church's Military Relations and consists of military personnel, diplomats, and foreign contractors. It also presumably includes the US ambassador to Iraq, Robert S. Beecroft, who is a Mormon.

The most popular faith in Iraq is far and away Islam, whose adherents count between 85-95% of the country (estimates are hard to attain due to much immigration and emigration to the country). Within Islam, Iraq has a majority Shiite Community representing around 60-70% of Iraq's total population and most are of the Ja'afari School. Iraq has minority Sunni Community representing around 20-30% of Iraq's total population (most of the Kurds are Sunni, however) and most Sunnis are of the Hanafi School.
Iraq also has numerous minority religions, the most prevalent of which are Christians (Syrian Catholic, Syrian Orthodox, Assyrian, and Chaldean), Yazidis, Zoroastrians, and Jews (Mizrahim).

When husband was in Iraq cheating and abandon you and the kids is that an argument in court?
Cheating is cheating no matter where it occurs and (with proof or uncontested) is still a legal cause for divorce. Abandonment is a different issue, particularly if your husband was in military service in Iraq. If the abandonment happened when he came back, that is another story.
ISIS is currently merging with other groups and gangs throughout the world. Even groups who do not share their beliefs. Cell groups have emerged as far away as South America and throughout Mexico. They will eventually have control and wage war against Christianity and the western world.
