Since you obviously won't click the link, I'll post it for you:

reĀ·gion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rjn)
n.
A large, usually continuous segment of a surface or space; area.
A large, indefinite portion of the earth's surface.
A specified district or territory.
An area of interest or activity; a sphere.
Ecology. A part of the earth characterized by distinctive animal or plant life.
An area of the body having natural or arbitrarily assigned boundaries: the abdominal region

If I meant Iraq, I would've said "toppled their economy" or "the economy of Iraq". The region is a reference to the surrounding area. Also, Iraq had to have an economy, otherwise, where would they get their weapons? That's right, exporting Petrol and Crude Oil constitutes an economy...

Are you going to try to debate anything serious, or continue to nitpick? I can do either.
Oh Snap! Owned again.

I brought up that point about China a while ago as well. And it's true that a lot of Iraq doesn't think we're doing them a favor. Gallup polls prove it.
