Clearing Up the Confusion Between Iran and Iraq




 * Anybody, correct me if I'm wrong on anything or need to add more. Iran and Iraq is not really my strongest topic to write about (it's probably hard for everybody else, so I post this online)

Oh boy. The picture turned out smaller than I expected. Anyway, the first things you should know is:


 * Iran is bigger than Iraq; Iraq has Baghdad, Iran has Tehran (funny how they both end in 'ran')
 * Iran has Ayatollah Khomeini. The US orignally supported the Shah there, but they got overthrown.
 * Iraw is the country with Sadaam Hussein. It also has the Al-Qaeda.

Iran also used to be called Persia, and had the Umayaad, Abassid, and Sassanid caliphates (which, I guess, also included Iraq)
