I would like to explore the vision that Daniel had in chapter 8, which is the vision of the RAM AND THE GOAT.
I believe there are similarities with Daniels vision, and what we are currently witnessing between the USA and Iraq.
I will concentrate on the first 7 verses, which is the fury of the GOAT and destruction of the RAM.
Everyone, feel free to post on this subject.
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me, Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is the providence of Elam, and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of U'lai.
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold there stood before the river a RAM, which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.
I saw the RAM pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
And as I was considering, behold, an he GOAT came from the WEST on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

Chapter 8 verse 19-27 give insight to what Daniel saw:
The ram which thou sawest having the two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. (modern Iran and Iraq)
And the rough goat is the king of Grecia (or modern day greece, which has become the western civilization of the USA)
and the great horn that is between his eyes is the FIRST KING.
The first President and founding father of the United States of America is George Washington.
Verse 5 tells us that the GOAT came from the WEST on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground.
Here is the indication of flight.
(return to verse 6)
And he came to the RAM that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
And I saw him move close unto the RAM and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the RAM and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the RAM to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the RAM out of his hand.
Here we can see that the RAM (or Iraq/Iran) has been overcome and defeated by the GOAT (USA).
The following verses of Daniel 8-12 show us (tragically), that the great horn of the GOAT (USA) is broken.
I will continue writing more on this post.
