Speculative Fact #196: Iraq Yesterday, Iraq Today

Stories are human patterns and history is the record of those patterns. Good fiction sensationalizes said patterns and spec-fic takes that to a whole other level.

        Gertrude Bell was once called, "the first citizen of [modern] Iraq." Her, more than any other person, is credited with its birth. Many people today would say it's a legacy worth scrapping, a classic example of imperialistic Western overreach. Still,  the best stories often show us something old in a new way. This pattern is worth study and more relevant today than ever. Maybe it's just what you've been looking for.
