Dr. Shakir Al-Nabulsi of the Kingdom of Jordan, "despite all attempts and efforts of the Arabs and Arabs on the powerful abortion and the destruction of" Baghdad 2003 2003, despite informing the Arabs and the West stuck all the crimes committed in Iraq since the dawn of that day To date coalition troops that invaded Iraq, but all this did not obscure the stark truth is that "Baghdad 2003" became the new era of the battle between Saddam Hussein and America to a battle between liberalism and fundamentalism, between modernity and Akaddamh, between dictatorship and democracy, between terrorism and writers , between followers and creativity, between thought and thought dead neighborhoods, between tyranny and justice. must each state and each people pass after liberation in corruption, theft and security chaos, but this phase will emerge from the womb stage of modernity, creativity and new liberal thought. us and from Japan and Korea Germany and Eastern Europe the best examples of that. "

With writer says Farnsoa Basile of the Republic of Egypt in New York resident in the United States of America "the fall of Baghdad is the crowning and greatest shock of the series of collapses Zalzala Arab constant over the past three decades, the fall of Baghdad is a declaration of the Supreme fall of the entire Arab regime in all its forms and formula At the heart of his being psychological and societal structure and components of the fall of this entity fall pattern and habits, ideas and systems, and the fall of culture language voice empty of any content influential novel, as is expected of this culture, a loss of content, the earthquake fall of Baghdad has not led to any signs of a wake Flounced rejects promote himself The birth of the same birth of a new ".

He adds Basseely "Is he the occupation of Baghdad profitable for Latin? Final outcome was not resolved in the long run yet, but the evidence shows that the American invasion of Iraq would be a loss related Bahtzaz American credibility in American policy, for disposal without legitimacy, and then hurried to exposure of intelligence information, with accusations that they are persecuted as exaggerated or fabricated danger and fabricated the myth of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the occupation of Iraq for their own interests. then there is the human and material losses incurred due to the explosive situation created by Ultimately there is the greatest potential loss if the whole process completed installation of a religious framework in Iran Iraq, but the United States rationality culture and society open and democratic system will be able to overcome the setbacks and mistakes came a new administration with a new vision absorb lessons remains chief of the keys to the production of power and progress. Arab culture and will continue as long as the losers are left emotional language religious confuse religion fullest and lose both. "

On Iraq says Dr. Zia Alchukrgi researcher in the political affairs of religion and thought resident in Germany "five years missed the war of liberation through occupation, the occupation or the product of liberation, and the required recruitment opportunity for a free democratic State desired, and the exercise of political act to end the occupation gradually, but the political forces not invest liberation opportunity to present a national project, but carried a strong political Islam Shiite its Shiite involving two elements, enough either for the Democratic National demolition project, but the political Islam and Shiism political, and supportive role of the reference Najaf and Iran, and the year did not produce the reality of the occupation and liberation opportunity , ensured the draft resistance to the occupation of their refusal to liberalize practice, and took together in the national sponsors at the expense of providing a pilot model of democracy in Kurdistan, which marginalized the Iraqi national project, along blundering Americans in the fatal mistakes did not harm the national Iraqi project exclusively, but included harm their interests, and the biggest mistakes in practice dedicated to the role of occupier at the expense of the role of the editor, and contributed to devote catastrophic situation semi absence of a strong national democratic moderate liberal secularism, which has not matured its alternative is sufficiently far, and can save Iraq today, but re-drafting of the Iraqi state on the basis of priority identity National and achieve genuine national reconciliation, and the centrality of genuine democracy, political pluralism real, non-sectarian and decentralization in the framework of the unity of Iraq, a secular state, and rid Iraq of political sectarianism and the politicization of religion, and the expulsion of regional influence, and updating of national sovereignty. "

Professor Ashraf Radi, a journalist and political analyst from Cairo in Egypt, "five years after the" Operation Iraqi Freedom ", an Egyptian journalist asked a colleague, commenting on the bloody confrontations between the Iraqi security forces and the Mahdi Army militia, as if the difference between what Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Maliki and the deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein?, the answer promptly and without hesitation that anyone in the Arab world did not write a speech for crimes tyrant who was ousted, while writers do not stop criticizing the successive Iraqi governments after that, I added that al-Maliki did not tender rewards it seems as he did Saddam, I did not find this answer-simplistic response to a question more naivete, and of course great differences between Iraq under Saddam Hussein and Iraq after the ninth of April and scope for evaluating listed in "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and challenges facing post-Saddam Iraq, I can reply to ignore all of the reasons behind the scenes of violence and bloody conflicts in Iraq today only say that the progress of democracy, freedom and the price must be paid by current generations not to pay multiples of future generations, no doubt that the process " Iraqi Freedom "many opponents inside Iraq and in neighboring countries, the whole of similar conflicts in the region overlap many factors contributing to the distortion of the image and cause a lack of clarity of vision, and it may be important in this regard warned that the future of democracy in Iraq - and that those who have and continue offer sacrifices deserve freedom will not accept them at low Award, and coordinate efforts for the people of Iraq build a democratic and pluralistic Iraq room for liberals. "

He says the Palestinian writer and academic Ahmad Abu Matar, who lives in Oslo "in the fifth anniversary of the fall of the Iraqi former regime, different writers, analysts and politicians around the Arab evaluation of this event, which is one of the most important events since the region in the last five decades. Some completely forgotten all the crimes that Saddam's regime affected hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were killed, tortured and exclusion from all nationalities, and sects, some of this focus on the period after the fall of the regime to take responsibility for everything that is happening, the killing and destruction also to the American occupation. others focus on the crimes of the previous regime only, rebounding from happening in the last five years , and Iraq has become an oasis of safety, freedom and democratic Republic of Plato than ideal, I believe that the interest of the Iraqi people reflect on the current miserable scene, which brought the grief, death and murder that is not less than existed in the time of exercise and deposed dictator, how to reach a balanced view at the scene assessing the past five years?. initially think that the international coalition forces led by the United States of America provided a great service and great for the Iraqi people and all nationalities and ideologies Bee, dropped defunct dictatorial regime offender, followed by the decision of the United Nations that Iraq is an occupied country, and therefore they have become cause Iraqi international all its dimensions, how the Iraqis at the disposal of this new situation?. substantive answer to this question must require similar experiences of recent history, it was already two are Japan and Germany that have signed the same under the American occupation, how the two dealt with this new situation similar quite the Iraqi situation?. considered the two occupying the opportunity to rearrange the internal house from all the negatives and errors which necessitated this occupation, from the review of the curriculum in Japan, to eliminate the thought and practices in Nazi Germany, for us to imagine today where reached Germany and Japan ?. "

He adds Abu Matar, "the ball is now in the court of the Iraqi people after the disposal of the offender defunct, it is who decides whether it wants tons democratically united federal where everyone is equal or sectarian conflicts and nationalist current, which is making the Iraqi people themselves and fuel unfortunately killed hundreds daily to the extent that dead and wounded and brothers in the last five years, equally those who died in times of the former regime. Iraqi parties and events which took power after the demise of the former regime were responsible for the current situation is that started sectarian and national quotas, which would not only lead to bloody conflicts present, the state of corruption that made the slogan No official is (steal as soon as they can they can), occupying a great service to drop the criminal system, and five years ago the ball in the court of the Iraqi people, is to blame for what is happening in his country. The last question in this bloody scene: What would happen if the United States withdrew occupation Tomorrow?. answer is a public partition and occupation of neighbouring countries to large parts of Iraq, amid welcome by the Iraqis themselves, with evidence that the Iraqis are not unanimous on the immediate departure of the occupation.
