Brother this is very correct and beautiful words but that was the past. Sadly the current is not as great to say the least but Insha'Alah the future will look better for all Muslim countries in the world and let me even say the whole world. Iraq, despite being known as the cradle of civilization, has endured many hardships since ancient times and also in recent times and that has affected the population. Iraq is a very complex country (tribalism, sects, huge diversity) that need a strong leader but when it has that strong leader it often ends in brutality and chaos. I see slightly similarities with Afghanistan both in good and bad way.
