April Current Events: First Iraqi flight to London in 20 years lands at Gatwick

The first airplane to fly from Iraq to London landed on Friday and left on Monday. No admittance was allowed in London because of Iraq invasion of Kuwait in 1990. The flight was full of commercial passengers and ministry officials.

This event has global importance because after many years of American work in Iraq they are opening up to Western countries and Western countries are making relations with them. If american work in the Middle East pays off like this than most of the countries like Afghanistan will become western and lower oil costs. This would lower the United States economic depts.

  1. I think that London not permitting the people from Iraq to enter London is a bit unfair. Iraq did invade Kuwait, but it was quickly resolved. Also, having the generalization of people from Iraq being "bad" is really unfair.
