How about put back the smaller countries that were there before the west (primarily the UK) created Iraq ? Never wondered about those amazing straight borders there ? Someone drew lines on a map when dividing the middle east up :~ The tigress is here :-D

Oops ... even it'd be a good idea, there'd be a problem not to be underestimated: the inhabitants of one of our (German) federal states, Hesse, are being called Hessians .... so if Bush should grab your idea and call former Iraq Hessian, you should try to get a new name .. or even a new identity ... or move to a new country ....because Hessians can become very uncomfortable ;):)

Then perhaps us westerners would appreciate their long culture more, and feel differently about all the old buildings being bombed. :( BTW - did you know they invented the signs of the Zodiac, which so many people trust their lives to these days :~

The whole mideast is a mystery, in fact, as it had no significance when I was in school and was barely mentioned except as a region where great cultures once lived. Nobody wants to read a diary by someone who has not seen the shadow of Bubba on the prison shower wall in front of them!
