iraqi lives.'m not a psychologist, but i do wonder where people put their morrning. you know, i wonder where they put their outrage into symbolic things. art often is about the kind of indirect reference to something that we're all feeling together, and what was useful about the outrage around the looting of the iraq museum was that it didn'tjust localise the problem, it wasn't an iraqi tragedy — it was an iraqi tragedy but it was also a human tragedy. this was our cultural heritage that was shared, and if you can put people on the track towards thinking that way, that it's something we share, then there are all these other opportunities about sharing this sense of loss in other directions. will you everfinish this mammoth project of yours? because i mean, i know the thing you're calling the invisible enemy should not exist. will you ever get that done? you're only on about number 800 of 8000, i think. it's a lifetime task. that will outlive me and my studio. that's kind of the point, to show that

homes let's bring in our panel in baghdad senior foreign policy adviser for the speaker of the iraqi parliament in cambridge we're not months or a fellow in the middle east and north africa program of the british based think tank chatham house and into her on hamad more so we have professor of political science at howard university welcome to you all. some of discontent over electricity shortages this is not something new in iraq i mean what's particular about this time well this time is different previously. there were so many demonstration previous years talking about. lists mainly about services electricity water and employment and so on at the same time there were some sort of solutions that the government actually made previously which is not actually. looks like actually it's not a it's not capable of solve the whole problems now we have a new think in this demonstration is that not all the people blaming the government but also people blaming the political parties that are responsible to make the government why are participated in the elections has m.p.'s inside the parliament

units working in the area of the iraqi police. journalist peter mass who interviewed patris at the time remember. the relationship being a lot closer than the patrol statement would indicate. it was very clear. that they were very close to each other in terms of their command relationship and also in terms of their ideas and ideology about what needed to be done to try to explicitly told me that he believed very very strongly in the commandos thought the commandos were successful and wanted them to become bigger stronger and even more prevalent in the fight against insurgency. international humanitarian law imposes obligations on those engaged in armed conflict regarding the treatment of prisoners not only must prisoners not be abused but those detaining prisoners also have an obligation to ensure respect as well it is not acceptable to turn a blind eye. because absolutely responsibility of every u.s. service member if they see in your main treatment. to intervene to stop it i don't think you mean they have an obligation to physic

foreign policy. >> the first iraqi election was very meaningful to many iraqis who participated. was very meaningful to people here in the united states to sell them the iraq war as a grand success. >> officials estimate that turnout was about 60% of the nation's 14 million eligible voters. >> the iraqis seemed to be energized by the opportunity to determine their own fate. and i remember feeling that, you know, i think we've got a shot at this, i think this just might work. >> it was this really exciting moment. but actually, what it was was a census of the shia population in iraq because the sunnis boycotted the election. >> most iraqis are shiite. they voted in overwhelming numbers, hoping to take back power after generations of being relegated to the sidelines. >> i was always skeptical that this was going to turn out well, that the occupation and the remaking of the middle east in the image of vermont was somewhat beyond the capacity of the united states. >> what this may mean for the future of iraq, for u.s. policy here, and for the possibility of some early withdrawals of

you know have spent time around the country gentlemen meaning many iraqis and most iraqis would say what's the point and you know what they were right because we are now in a government formation process where most likely the same leaders in the same negotiating amongst themselves who is going to keep what close and who is going to become in europe what mr so i think what iraqis are learning and it's a very sad lesson is that change won't come institutionally there are things like elections so there's an inherent problem that you have that they are effectively protesting against a lame duck government we don't know what will happen who will be left in this government when the votes are finally recounted and hopefully a government is formed i wonder if that could make things worse that actually this could get more out of hand because there is not a strong government in place. so so far there's been a few months of what they call the horse trading which is everybody coming in and trying to do a metric and sort of term and who will be the leaders so far many iraqis would have predicted

if his iraqi friends got upset then i'd fix things with them but out of fact and i would turn down my offer nasmyth that we had with us with which you have as a man got on with syrian people like yet and i was he had had an influence on arafat's this is and the policies he adopted or with. by taking them out of fatah was left with no effective people around him many with ultimately and this had a negative effect in the years to come. by the end of february saddam hussein's army had been ejected from kuwait his regime almost shattered. bat had a holiday and do a lot of be accustomed had after the gulf war all arabs will so much they lost everything a completion of queta by the iraqis was a stain on our honor. there's absolutely no excuse for it. that can only let me a duck of melt if and then you add like that a shock to all the hostility i felt did not openly and clearly condemn their who patient of kuwait. at the same time he didn't openly and clearly supported. tried in his own way to simultaneous to play both sides and his position was interpreted as supporting the iraqis and his c

city of erbil and she says the iraqi people are angry because their suffering. does have been happening for i think about eight or nine years every summer because in that area in basra it's about fifty degrees it goes over fifty degrees and every summer again there's not a left enough electricity if you don't have money you don't have a generator either so people really suffer. and then this is the day area of iraq where all the income comes from ninety five percent of the iraqi income comes from the oil from basra so people are saying why don't we have jobs it's all foreigners working there so give us the chops and as for the electricity we also see a role of iran in these. iran has been providing electricity and water for the past eight years on and off. but this summer and it has cuts that they say because it has not been bait but it seems that there might be a relation to the problems there are between iraq and a sorry iran and washington over the nuclear deal it could be that iran is trying to make. a signal to america look if you are not working with us if

political class that these are really examination of the iraqi constitution. you know we've had that even the americans operated under the articles of confederation for about ten years and then after what became the american i think we've been through enough cycles and had enough problems to look to see that perhaps it's time to relook at the constitution i hope there's a serious discussion of that even though i understand there are also entrenched interests. that benefit from the sort of constitutional ambiguity but i would look to the constitution once a future of the elders under the current constitution that looking for ways of strengthening them in the future we mentioned briefly the recount of the votes the suspect votes that's going on at the moment how significant is that and will that make any sort of difference to the current situation. it may do in certain areas on the overall result i mean is it going to make the prime minister's party go from coming on third in the elections to coming first i don't think so it may balance there may be a rebalancin
