One of the unintended side effects was the rise of feminism.\n\nPrior to WWII the men worked and the women stayed home and took care of the family. During the war the work force suddenly became 80+% female while the men were off saving the world from communism.  When the men returned home from the war, "Rosie the riveter" soon found out that she was no longer content cooking, cleaning, and taking care of her man and his kids. \n\nAs a side note, I've got to hand it to the women of WWII. I recently spent the night aboard the USS Lexington as a part of a boy scout outing. This particular ship was known as the "gray ghost" because it was reported as sunk on 5 different occasions but managed to survive (a well constructed ship!). Further, when it was commissioned shortly after Perl Harbor the construction schedule was slated for 4 years. She was completed in two. Both of these outstanding items are attributed to the fact that 80% the construction crew were, in fact, women! \n\nYou go girls!

Its territory covered approximately the northern part of modern Iraq. However they were a mighty military empire that ruled the known world for a time. The Assyrians were known for their excessive cruelty. They seemed indestructible. Fear gripped the nations around them. Kings committed suicide instead of falling into the Assyrians' cruel hands. Yet the Babylonians defeated them at Nineveh and so ended this indestructible empire. Then Babylon was supreme until the Medes and the Persians came along. One lesson here: All empires, and in modern times super powers, rise and fall in a consistent repeating pattern. Spain was big, France was big. Great Britain was big. No more. Now the U.S. is big, but a day is coming when we will be a super power no more. \nSomebody else will be big. China? A coalition of Muslim countries? United States of Europe? We'll see, and perhaps in our own life-time.

does it make a difference to the dead,their families or the world? wars are fought out of fear,greed and evil in the hearts of men.in the end it's always just sad.

hmmmm. that one is tricky. but take ww2 for ex. the war was a big boost for the economy esp. since it started during the depression. it gave people jobs. and helped with the stock market. socially it wasn't so great though it did help people by boosting there moral as in getting jobs. but on the German front it was devastating to Jews and anyone the Germans persecuted. long term it ended up bringing Communism which as we all know isn't that great. so basically you are looking for anything that would be kinda like that where you could see a drastic impact on all fronts. good luck. hope i helped if not sorry.

When I was a kid I used to go to the rooftop and watch the missles that Saddam launched at my city, it was funny that time. From time to time sirens send us the message that we should go underground, air raid was coming, each week we lost some of the guys in the hood even sometimes teachers at the school.\nI had a professor in university and believe me he was a very lovely nice kind man, everyone loved him and one day they told us that he has died because of Chemical weapons that Saddam used against us. \nThe middle east has been unstable as long as I can remember, Iraq been at war all the time, Afghanestan is covered with land mines, US flees always been in Persian Gulf and my country has problems with western countries since I was born.\nWe grow with the war and we hate it more than anyone else, I have seen the scene of devastated cities and I know dirty side of wars which is heinous murders, rapes...\nI am nervous about it, if US invade my country they will force me to join army and fight and people here ask questions about invading and even nuking my country all the time.\nIt's our destiny, we live in the Hot Zone, we live with war.\nAnyways there are many people from middle east in this forum, no need to search in Google.

youre right, it destroys wealth & creates poverty. one of the best reasons for wars is to take our wealth (taxes, lives, property) and destroy it so that we never gave it to use to enlighten ourselves. if that happens, we wouldn ever tollerate the practices of tyrants.

the complication of the simple things that really matter.\nie. how and when you get your food, shelter and water. also, who come knocking to collect differs with the level of war, colonization, and politics.

The ancient Greeks fought with the Persians a lot.  (Does Alexander the Great ring a bell? He united greece and fought the persians- took control of their land- and then went on to take over other civilzations.)

uh oh ... i wish no one would've got me started on that!! See the following excerpts from a brilliant article written by one bright Dr. Kaveh Farrokh, courtesy of whom I am cutting and pasting the following from the ghandchi.com website. I would suggest anyone who's seen the movie to read the fuul article at http://www.ghandchi.com/iranscope/Anthology/KavehFarrokh/farrokh6.htm : \n\n\n"Despite excellent reviews of his book by critics and scholars, Dr. Fox does not understand the military of ancient Persia. A typographical shot of the battle of Gaugamela, shows the Greeks advancing in ordered and disciplined ranks. In contrast, the armies of Darius III are shown as little better than an amorphous mob. This is a false image of the Achaemenid army. The Achaemenids used drums and musical instruments to direct the marching tactics of their troops in battle. Second, the Achaemeneans used the decimal system, which was in fact, unknown to the Greeks of the period. Persian units were formed in legions of 10, 100 or 1000 or 10,000. A typical term was "Hezar-Patesh" (roughly equivalent to "leader of a thousand men"). \nIn addition, the Persians had developed a sophisticated system of heraldry and their troops wore standard uniforms. The Greeks were certainly excellent fighters and were thoroughly organized, but this does not mean that the Persians were not. At the time, the Greeks were militarily superior with respect to armaments, tactics and military training. \nThis military imbalance changed with the coming of the Parthian and Sassanian cavalry. The Iranian Savaran (elite Cavalry) successfully halted and defeated many of the later Greek-Hoplite inspired Roman armies. Many Romans attempted to imitate Alexander and failed against Persia. These include Marcus Lucinius Crassus at Carrhae, Marc Antony at Tabriz (where he failed twice), Gordian III at Mesiche, Phillip the Arab near modern Syria, Valerian at Barbablissos, and Julian the Apostate in Mesopotamia. I personally doubt that Hollywood will recreate these spectacular Roman defeats as these will challenge contemporary western notions of the Alexandrian legacy. In addition, many Iranians today are unaware of the proud legacy of the Parthian and Sassanian Savaran."\n...\n"The portrayal of ancient Iranians is outright comical, if not insulting.  The inaccurate Hollywood portrayal of Iranians is exemplified by the selection of Rosario Dawson ( http://www.lostfocus.de/archives/rosario_dawson.jpg ), a very talented, beautiful and intelligent black actress, to star as Roxanna, an ancient Iranian queen from Soghdia-Bactria. Roxanna was not black, anymore than Alexander was Scandinavian. Having Rosario Dawson portrayed as Roxanna makes as much sense as having Lucy Liu, an Asian-American, portraying Queen Victoria of Great Britain. \nThe term Roxanna is derived from Old Iranian "Rokh-shwan" or "face (Ruksh) - fair skinned-shiny (shwan)". Roxanna was related to a North Iranian tribe known later as the Sarmatians, the remnants who survive in the Caucasus and Russia as the Ossetians (ancient Alans or Ard-Alans) \nRoman sources such as Pliny repeatedly describe ancient North Iranian peoples such as the Alans and Seres as "…flaxen (blonde) haired blue eyed nomads…" (see Wilcox, p.19). Rosario Dawson does not fit the description of an ancient Iranian woman, especially from Northern Iranian stock. The Ossetians of today, descendants of ancient Northern Iranians, predominantly resemble northern Iranians and Europeans and speak an archaic Iranian language (like the Avesta of the Zoroastrians). Blondism is very common among these descendants of ancient North Iranians in cities such as Beslan and Vladikafkaz. It can be argued that Roxanna was a brunette, however, she was of Northern Iranian stock, which would still make her very different from actress Rosario Dawson. \nThere are plenty of talented actresses of Iranian descent i

No. But my best friend is a Kurdish Iraqi, and she spent 4 months there last year. She had her ups and downs. But what speaks volumes is that she saw her family's oil being taken by US officials with her own two eyes. (she comes from a wealthy family and they have lots of that). She was also staying in a mansion made of marble but there wasn't even any water to flush the toilets with. Pretty depressing.
