after nearly nine years, during which claimed many lives and where a lot of money spent, the Iraq war is about to expire. Where a modest ceremony took place at the airport before departure of the last days of U.S. troops to Kuwait, I went out and got into what he called the officials more than a bloody military campaigns
And ambitious since the Vietnam War. For the United States, the war left a legacy, and that the volatile was not equal to the number of dead and wounded. This long conflict has weakened Iraq and its resources, and raised questions about the desire of Americans to get involved in future wars of this weight. Iraqis will remain in a country is at war nor at peace. We have improved the conditions of one form or another since 2007, but it remains a country distracted destroy the political violence and disorder, a country on sectarian lines, his future in the hands of his sons. Larson says the journalist Imad al-Sabah newspaper writer in the new "It's the end for the Americans only, no one knows whether the war will end for the Iraqis or not." Iraq will try to find his place in the area infested by the revolutions and manages its affairs with Iran, which will try to expand its influence culturally and economically through the vacuum that would leave the U.S. military. While U.S. officials worry of the close political relations between Iran and the Iraqi leadership, the deeper is the most accurate. Iraqis complain about Iranian consumer goods do not conform to the specifications - from milk and cheese of poor quality - and the critical role of the Iranian-backed militias that have killed this year a lot of American soldiers. Iranian competition often appears in the holy city of Najaf, which is the epicenter of Iraq's religious authorities. Iran has recently appointed a senior clerical personnel in the city of Najaf, sparking fears it is trying to promote religious rule in Iraq. On the other hand said the Sadrist movement that the remaining American diplomats would be a nice game, however, armed men. Iraq faces many problems puzzling failure of Americans to their resolution, which extends from how to divide the country's oil wealth to the sectarian reconciliation to establish a system of justice impartially.
Adel Abdul Mahdi, former Vice President of the Republic which describes the process of political reconciliation between the main factions of the three in Iraq, "We Jamdon in our place and things are paralyzed, we are going from bad to worse. " A large number of Iraqis do not believe that Americans really will leave as a result of conspiracy mentality that has developed over the years under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein's violent crackdown. After its withdrawal from Iraq the end of this month, the U.S. forces will leave behind a turbulent country politically and weak, vulnerable to sliding into sectarian civil war has already killed thousands in 2006 and 2007.
I have supervised Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to unite the army, his government is not a lot of representation : Most of them are composed of pro-Islamic Iran. Also been marginalized by the secular Iraqi List, won parliamentary elections in March 2010. This Islamic government does not bode well for the future of the country. Unfortunately, this government was the direct result of the perception of American misleading about Iraq since the invasion in 2003.
this flawed policy was more important in shaping the form of Iraq, the size of the original strength, which invaded, Abu Ghraib prison scandal in 2004, or increase the momentum in 2007, is located the blame for this policy in the dangerous situation that leaves Iraq when the United States today. In the nineties of the last century, I thought America's post-Saddam Iraq that it would be a federal union of the Arabs and the Kurds. Decisive change in American thinking came in 2002 when the Bush administration was preparing for war. Iraqis turned themselves on this system. After the sectarian conflict in 2006 and 2007, re-discovery of Iraqi nationalism. Provided the U.S. sustain the momentum and the growing criticism of the new constitution the right environment for the owners to appear in 2009 as a national leader won the respect of all denominations. However, in May 2009, and with the presence of President Obama in power, he returned Shiite Islamists - who Hmchehem Maliki in local elections - and gathered again in Tehran, and the aim was purely an alliance embraces the so-Maliki himself. And became a priority for them to liquidate the former government officials linked to so-called de-Baathification. At that time Washington was turning a blind eye to what is going on, after he performed poorly in the parliamentary elections in 2010, built-Maliki, a sectarian agenda in order to gain a second term as president of the government. But Bush administration officials failed to notice the change in the al-Maliki, did not seize the opportunity to save from the brink of sectarian Maliki through the alliance with the Iraqi List, but they form a power-sharing government in December 2010. The main reason not to give Mr. Maliki the guarantees for the survival of U.S. forces after 2011, is his commitment to satisfying its allies. As a result, it has become hostage to the motives of supporters of Islamic Iran. Current government is very swollen and weak can not develop strong policies or the deportation of Iranian influence. Through the eyes of those responsible Americans to al-Maliki as a range and not as an Arab Iraqi, has condoned the opportunities available previously, but now gone. Thanks to the flawed policies that they leave Iraq today is closer to a country hopelessly divided it into a country full of optimism.
