Iraq & Syria ? New war?
Amid a growing row, the two countries have traded insults and recalled their ambassadors in recent weeks.
During Saddam Hussein's 1979-2003 rule, Iraq and Syria were governed by rival branches of the Arab nationalist Baath Party and ties between them were characterised by mutual hostility.
Although diplomatic relations were restored in 2006, the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003 saw many of his former allies flee to Syria, renewing tensions between the countries.
did they recalled their ambassadors (aka tea-boy) from the offices?? :)
.
only in our office this war is obvious, both our staff syrian & Iraqi also exchanging harsh words. truly this is depressing
crooked commies more like!
S**t was never rosewater & mixed nuts between the two. I don't see it getting any better either. "Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad...". However, the escalation is rather depressing.
