En dis net hier waar die man in die straat in die VSA
gaan begin objekteer teen al die moord en doodslag,
net soos hulle in Vietnam gedoen het. Miskien nie

War between Iran and Iraq, lasting from 1980 to 1988.
The background for the war was disagreements on the borderline between
the two countries, stemming back to 1971, when Iran occupied a couple
of Iraqi islands in the Persian Gulf near the outlet of Shatt El Arab.
Iraq was also objecting the Islamist propaganda that was transmitted
from Iran to Iraq, and Iraq's government feared that there could be a
revolution among the Iraqi Shi'is in the south. In 1980 Iraq expected
that Iran was weak after the Iranian Revolution, so that Iraq would
face little resistance when occupying Iranian territory.
