    Shafaq News/ The American "Foreign Policy" magazine considered that although the ideal vision that was expected for Iraq after 2003 was not achieved as expected, this should not be the only perspective that looks at this country, calling on the international community to support Iraq through 3 steps to ensure a better future for Iraqis and their involvement in the political process. 



    The American report, translated by Shafaq News Agency, explained; Analyzes about Iraq usually focus either on past US failures or on how the "new Iraq" has turned into Iran's sphere of influence, and that because of this reductive vision on the part of the West, Iraq is viewed through two simplified lenses: its ability to be a reliable partner In the war on terrorism, and his willingness to confront Iran.
    The report pointed out that much of the Western analysis on Iraq ignores the democratic capabilities of Iraq, where there is a diverse society that increasingly asserts itself through its defiant stances towards its rulers, and seeks peacefully to search for means to reform the broken system, without necessarily realizing how and where to start. that. 
    And after the report considered that a large part of society is currently undergoing a slow process of political maturity and is benefiting in a way from a number of democratic aspects that became possible after the fall of the regime of former President Saddam Hussein, it said, however, that "the ideal vision of Iraq after 2003 was not achieved as expected." He added, "This should not be the only phenomenon through which we judge Iraq now or make policy calculations about it in the future based on it." 
    The report enumerated a set of democratic manifestations and features that exist now, the relative freedom of expression that Iraqis practiced and defended against all odds, enabling them to criticize governments and parties. But he also pointed to popular discontent, which was represented in the low turnout at the polls. He also pointed to the large population growth, so that for the majority of Iraqis, Saddam Hussein represents a distant memory and is not associated with them, as many of them will not grow up under his tyranny. As he discovered, many Iraqis under the age of 25, who make up about 60% of the population, met each other and the world through social media platforms. 
    The report indicated that these young people want what their peers everywhere want: a decent education, reliable services, job opportunities, and the right to express their opinions and live the life they want.
    And the report continued; The Tishreen movement, although violently suppressed and politically demonized by the ruling elite and allied militias (with Iranian support), is slowly organizing itself through political parties to participate in future elections. 
    The report concluded by saying that Iraq is in a state of flux where an internal battle is taking place over the future of the nation, its political identity and the official arrangements for power in it, and it is a struggle between liberal and conservative forces. That is why the report called on the international community, specifically the United Nations Mission in Iraq, the United States and European countries, not to stand idly by and watch this battle only and cling to the past.
    On the other hand, it is imperative that these parties, according to "Foreign Policy", instead try to encourage Iraqis who feel generally disillusioned, to engage in electoral politics, through three means: 
    First, by continuing to invest in Iraq through international institutions and donor programs and by continuing to engage with young entrepreneurs and leaders who are forcing change despite difficult political circumstances.
    Secondly, it is imperative for the international community not to ignore the behavior of the state and the pro-Iranian militias against the October demonstrators, adding that despite the many official promises from the Iraqi government to hold accountable those responsible for suppressing the demonstrators and killing hundreds of them, no one has been brought to trial. The report considered that officials should not feel immune from the legal and political consequences of repression, adding that this issue is important in order to maintain peaceful dialogue, warning that responding to peaceful protests through violence will gradually isolate angry demonstrators and push them to search for violent solutions outside the system.
    Third, the report calls on the international community to work to ensure that the rules of the electoral game are observed and respected, recalling what happened during the last elections, when the majority was prevented from forming a government. 
    "Foreign Policy" concluded its report by saying that it is easy to see Iraq as a story of failure as it appeared in the Western media on the occasion of the commemoration of the 2003 invasion, but the international community must do more than just reformulate what happened 20 years ago. Iraqis are seen struggling to build democracy. The report stressed the importance of investing in the future of Iraq, especially in the young generation, which demands representative governance, services and employment, while protecting pluralism. He concluded by saying that Iraqi society has changed dramatically since 2003, but it now depends on whether its political institutions are able to keep up with it.
