I'm now reading "Understanding Iraq" of William Roe Polk. At page 67, I showed a sentence like this: "Why did the British decide to conquer Iraq?" I want to underline "conquer" and change a misjudgement. I think somebody should understand the differences between "conquer" and "invade". If a place is conquered, All people of this place have confidence in people who conquered. . So they can live safely. This is also valid for enemy forces. But, if a place is invaded, people can't live safely. (example: Iraq) When British supposedly conquered Iraq, people weren't in safety. Just like in Philistine. 15000 Turk soldiers, who fighted against England at Philistine at World War 1, were taken prisioner and after a lot of torture, they were killed via poisoning. Are these England "conquerer" or "invader"? It's your decision.
