    Baghdad / Obelisk: On the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, the opinion page in “The Guardian” highlighted an article entitled “The Real Lesson of the Invasion of Iraq”, in which its writer Jonathan Friedland summed up saying at its beginning that the mistakes, exaggerations and lies that led to the invasion offer basic lessons for our present. in conflict and beyond.
    Friedland points out that he spent most of the past week digging into everything related to the US invasion of Iraq in the British media archives, and came out of this immersion and meditation with two basic lessons.
    Lesson one: do no harm or harm
    The writer says that the arguments presented by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former US President George Bush for the war on Iraq were many, but the basic principle of the issue of military intervention was that it was in the interest of the Iraqi people themselves. He adds that the overthrow of Saddam Hussein did occur, but at a heavy cost of some 300,000 lives, according to one estimate, most of them Iraqi civilians.
    Friedland continues that the invasion created a vacuum filled with terror and bloodshed. For many Iraqis, the cure prescribed by the architects of the invasion, US President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, was worse than the disease. The writer cited what a former senior intelligence officer told him this week, "No matter how horrible the system is, chaos and disorder are worse."
    Lesson 2: When it comes to secret intelligence, be skeptical
    And the writer states that when raising the issue of war, Blair focused a great deal on the intelligence he saw, which he said proved “without a doubt” that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. But it turned out, as is well known, that this was completely false, as there were no weapons of mass destruction. The Chilcot inquiry into the invasion of Iraq concluded that the then prime minister had deliberately exaggerated the threat, and this fact alone is enough to make him damned by history.
    He concluded his article with another lesson that he believes applies outside of wartime, saying that even the closest allies should never give all-encompassing support to one another, and they should have the ability to discern, supporting a friend when he is right, while reserving the right to back off when he is bent on doing wrong. .
    And the Iraq war that took place in 2003 was related to the military intervention carried out by the United States of America and its allies in Iraq with the aim of overthrowing the regime of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. This military action was justified by claiming the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and alleged links between the Iraqi regime and al-Qaeda.
    In the archives of the obelisk, the allegations of war are as follows
    1- The United States and its allies claimed the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but no evidence of the existence of these weapons has been found. At the time, many of those who fled Saddam's regime, as well as opposition politicians, claimed that there were weapons of mass destruction
    2- Misleading information was circulated about alleged links between the Iraqi regime and Al-Qaeda, and no evidence of these links was found.
    3- The United States and its allies claimed that Saddam Hussein was a threat to international security, but no evidence of this threat was found.
    4- Misinformation was spread about the support of the Iraqi people for the war, but in fact, there was a strong protest movement against the war in Iraq and all over the world.
