Welcome

   The Republic of Iraq is a country in Western Asia. Two rivers, the
   Tigris and Euphrates, flow from northwest to southeast and make the
   country a contrast to the typical Western Asian desert landscape.

   Ancient Iraq was, under the name Mesopotamia, the center of numerous
   civilizations such as the Babylonian and the Assyrian empires.

   With an invasion in 2003, Iraq came under military occupation and
   regained Sovereignty in June 2004 with a new elected Government.
