Iraq

Can you ladies edit this together to make one report? It looks like you both still need to work on the last three questions. Mia, check the questions to make sure you are answering the ones I asked.

Hey people who have the same country as me....its Sam Considine....I'm in Mrs. Assini's Period 9-10 class.....let me know any info. Go to the CIA Factbook as described in the HOME page and answer those questions on here. Mrs. Assini

The following questions are by Samantha Considine from Mrs. Assini's Period 9-10 Class. Iraq is located in the Middle East and is considered part of Asia. Its absolute location is 39 degrees North and 44 degrees East. Iraq is east of Iran and is near the boundary line of the Persian Gulf. Iraq has a traditional economy and follows the ways of their ancestors by drilling oil. Oil is Iraq's leading export income, but they use 250,000 barrels a day. Compared to the United States' 20 million barrels, thats a lot! Today, Iraq is trying to produce more economic growth and is easing out of their traditional lifestyle. Iraq doesn't have a very high standard of living, compared to the U.S. It is war-torn and our everyday Bill of Rights is a completely different universe to them. On the news, there was a documentary about women who were beaten for plucking their eyebrows. This is just one example of how great of a country America is. Iraq has not always been a country. In fact, about the time of World War I it belonged to the Ottoman Empire. Additionally, the British were using Iraq as a kind of base during the cold war. In conclusion, Iraq has an interesting culture that I'd like to learn more about. Hey everyone this is Mia adding on to what Sam has already put on i hope you all find it interesting, I'm from period 1-2 honors
