Okay, like Germany and South Korea, Iraq is a US occupied country?

Iran states it will only attack military installations whereas the US President's 52 targets include cultural sites. You know what other group attacked and destroyed cultural sites, ISIS. When done the US will then be in the cellar with ISIS.

You like that Anon?

I don't know Roger. I suggest you do a survey of the wealthy, including politicians, to determine how many illegals they are employing. Then move on from there. If Trump is re-elected you might want to make sure of you have sufficient copies of your own hereditary history as it might prove to be useful over time.
