in iraq. sort ofrt of the normal paradigm of iraq. if we just look at the quick historical perspective, sometimes in baghdad, you have the two key citiesh present different civilizations as well. the british mandate, countryence, iraq as a was always rich within the region. in the gulf country, they used to send their kids to baghdad university. they are a key member in the united nations, the league of nations before the arab league, as well. growth as a monarchy until 1958. from 1958, you have the military rule. they rolled from 1963 for a few months and then in 1968, the political party of saddam hussein. 2003, president ruled. he was useless. it had an adverse impact on the iraqis as well. the changes affect the fabric of society. it is the vision of the dictator thewith the people on they most country that had u.s. sanctions against it. in 2003, you had the u.s. invasion. a number ofwe had milestones from a democratic point of view. we had the elections, the provisional elections three times during the national elections three times. ratifications of the constitution. and, in addition to that, they transformation of a society from

and that's the parts of baghdad and other major cities in iraq looks like. that was the extent of the problem. not an easy problem. and i would also say that, let me, to draw another analogy about the unnecessary collapse of the state in 2003, or let's say the finishing off of a job, collapsing the state with the disbanding of the iraqi army. to pronounce the iraqi army had to spend itself into spring 2003 but these were like going to a deserted pentagon on friday evening in declaring that the department of defense had disbanded itself. they're going to come back. you can order them back to work and that's probably what should have been done. and having said that let me add that i'm not speaking on behalf of the u.s. army or the department of defense in any way. this is only my opinion as i should've prefaced everything i have said. lastly, to extrapolate from your book to the situation today, i think, unfortunately can you give us the key to understanding the violence that is rocking iraq today because the various strategic problems that you described being
