Description

Iraq is a nation that should never have been created, according to Beeman, who challenges the notion that this multiethnic state has an intrinsic integrity as a nation that could be preserved by American intervention. Conceived as a convenience to British colonial power following World War I, it was a nation with impossible difficulties from the start-nondefensible borders, disparate rivalrous ethnic and religious groups, and a resource that was essential for the colonial powers of the West-oil. The only way for this nation of Kurds, Shi'ites, and Sunni to hold itself together was through autocratic rule or colonial domination. Iraq has never coalesced into a true nation.
