Getting it right in Iraq in 2014-2015- Ali Khedery on Haider al-Abadi, the Dawa Party, Iran's influence in Iraq, and Iraq's tangled tortuous politics
08/15/2014
Khedery who has observed first hand the problems in Iraq, the corruption, sectarianism and the misrule of Hussein and Maliki, says it will take a change of heart in Iran, a new tolerance for different religious faiths and opinion, and good honest leadership, to turn things around. All of which are today difficult to find, making this Iraq's last chance to be an independent state. He provides a view from inside Iraq that American political and military leaders talk only in sparing terms- the enormous mistakes of Hussein, followed by Maliki and Iran, including the war in Syria, that have happened in the last 40 years. Compare this with the view presented by a military advisor such as Gen. James Jones in the WSJ calling for action in Iraq to prevent a ISIS terrorist state in the Middle East.

The inaction of the Obama administration till the fomation of the new Abadi government in Iraq worsened the situation.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
