Why is Iraq so important to the world? If you say oil, you’d be wrong
Yes, oil is a beautiful benefit that Iraq can share, and countries worldwide are always interested in Iraq’s oil news. Not to mention the massive amounts of oil still under the ground in Iraq. However, that is not what makes Iraq essential in the hearts of millions.
Let me see, how do I put this?
If you were playing baseball, Iraq would be first base. Babylon is one of the first stops out of Africa for mankind. That means there are more secrets about our beginnings as humans in Iraq than in any other place.
Even the world’s most famous book tells us that a man called the “Father of many nations” was born in Iraq. It also tells us of a terrible injustice where his wife urges him to sleep with the handmaiden to create a child.
Shortly after the child is born, the wife of Abraham, who is many years old, gives birth to a son.
Instead of embracing both boys, she demands that the firstborn and his mother be banished from the community.
It was said that Abraham’s firstborn and his mother were sent away with little food and water.
