Maps of War

Here is a website with some really interesting flash animations. The following link will play one of several available on the site. The animation lasts about 45 seconds (no sound) and has a sliding time line below it to show the approximate year. As you watch it, notice the number of times that Israel and Iraq are conquered and reconquered - especially at the end of the animation when it replays the entire sequence at high speed. It kind of puts the prospects for peace in the middle east in a new perspective - not a very optimistic one. Enjoy!
