For one of the world's oldest cultural histories, there isn't much that people have to say about it?

[edit] Iran,Iraq's Traditional Enemy?!
"Historical culture Like many Arab countries, and in a particularly similar manner to Iran,Iraq's Traditional enemy, it embraces and celebrates the achievements of its past in pre-Islamic times.
what are some of the cultural trates that iraq has kept through all the changes,check this sentence out: "Iran,Iraq's Tradtitional Enemy" what is this now !? Iraq's traditional enemy!!? Iran?!! ,what are you kidding me!?, Iran and iraq were enemies since saddam gained power, before that iraq was not even an independent country(not long before that,iraq is independent for 150 years at most),Iraq was always a long time part of iran(more or less),that sentence is bizarre,im changing it.
[edit] pre-Islamic culture?
oh yyea this is all wrong dudesz
This sentence does not make sense to me and I am not sure it is true. From what I know Iraq is not different from other Arab countries when it comes to culture and especially pre-Islamic culture. Also it is very different from Iran. Iranians are still speaking their pre-Islamic language (Persian) while people of Iraq speak the post Islamic language which is Arabic. As far as the culture is concerned from what I know the Iraqis only celebrate and observe Muslim ceremonies and use Arabic names unlike Persians who still use their pre-Islamic names and practice their pre-Islamic rituals. Never heard of a pre-Islamic celebration or ritual in Iraq and never heard Iraqi people using pre-Islamic names. I don’t see the difference between Iraq and other Arab countries (Syria, Egypt, Jordan) they too only practice their post Islamic culture and speak the post Islamic language. So how is Iraq different from them and more similar to Iran? I appreciate if someone (preferable the author of the paragraph) explain this to me. I am very interested in this subject. Thank you.
[edit] Holiday
July 17#Holidays and observances has there being a Ba'ath Revolution Day holiday on 17 July. I was wondering if this is still correct? If not, can someone please either leave me a message or change the July 17 page? Cheers, --Midnighttonight 05:07, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
