Hello everyone,

My name is Omar. I am from Egypt originally but spent most of my life in the Gulf. I speak both Arabic and English fluently, but I write Arabic quite slowly so I prefer to write in English unless the situation calls for otherwise.

I am heavily interested in military history from the post-Napoleonic to first WW1 period and from WW2 to the end of the Cold War. I am even further interested in Arab militaries from the 50's to the 80's (particularly Egypt, Syria and Iraq). With regards to Iraq I like to cover the period of the Iran-Iraq war. I am very impressed with Iraq's military history. The title Prussia of the Middle East is well deserved as the fame, glory, discipline, professionalism, sophistication and equipment of its late army have always left me in awe. I am not as interested in the Iraqi military from the period of 1991 to the present (I don't like to read as much on military history after 1991 anyway).

I hope I can contribute well to the forum with what I know about Iraqi and Arab military history and learn much from the many people on here who are more well versed on Iraqi military history than I am.

I look forward to meeting all of you!
