    The British newspaper, The Times, published a report on the 20th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq, saying it was "arrogant folly" based on false intelligence.

    In the report, written by Catherine Philip, Ahmed vividly remembers the mixture of excitement and terror he felt when the Americans began bombing his city. "We were just kids, but we were excited that they would come and get rid of Saddam," he says.

    The author adds that Ahmed and his brothers hid under the furniture as the shelling began, when the missiles hit their targets on the morning of March 20.

    And she adds that after three months, Ahmed's father became a victim of this invasion, when he was the wrong target of the American invasion, as nervous American soldiers shot him at a checkpoint in Sadr City, where his family lives.

    The following year, she says, an American tank completely destroyed their home during fighting between the Americans and the Mahdi Army.

    “After 2003, we never had a good day,” Ahmed told the author, as he recalled the events that followed: the brutal insurgency and car bombs, the violence between Sunnis and Shiites from 2006 to 2008, and the takeover of large areas by ISIS in 2014. The author says that

    he "Twenty years after the beginning of the American invasion it is now widely acknowledged that the invasion failed miserably, and was an arrogant folly based on false intelligence."

    "The repercussions of the invasion have continued over the years, increasing the ability of authoritarian leaders elsewhere in the world to heed their people's pleas for democracy," she adds.    [/size]
