Shafaq News/ The American "Foreign Policy Research Institute" considered that the Iraq war was more bloody for the Americans than expected, but it was a long-term imperial adventure, whose impact will be limited on the display of American power in the future, indicating that the idea of "regime change" In Tehran, it has become more acceptable, and if that happens, it will have a positive impact on political progress in Baghdad.
And after the report, which was translated by Shafaq News Agency, indicated; Until the traditional truth speaks of about 4,000 dead soldiers, men and women, he revealed that this number is just part of the truth, as the real number, when adding the number of American contractors and civilians who were killed, is close to 8,000 dead, while dozens were wounded. Thousands of people have had injuries that changed their lives and their families, such as losing limbs, eyes, or facial burns.
And the report continued; Many of the seriously wounded veterans, there are tens of thousands of them, and most of them belong to the working class, with which the political elite in Washington does not interact. In addition to all this, Iraq itself witnessed the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
The report stated that although the Iraq war is much more important than it was assumed in terms of US losses, it turned out to be less important from a geopolitical point of view, explaining that Iraq was a long-term adventure similar to the imperial adventure that deviated from it, despite what the United States has. Natural and economic resources and an enviable geographical location.
Although the report indicated that the US defense establishment may have been late in planning and acquiring the weapons needed to deter China due to a decade of counterinsurgency in the Middle East (including Afghanistan), it considered that the US progress in this field was consistent and impressive.
And the report continued; What will be interesting for historians in the future when they look back is that despite the grave mistakes in Iraq and Vietnam, the "American Empire" is moving forward, noting that grave mistakes of this magnitude would have paralyzed the small and medium powers, but that It didn't happen with us.
And after he pointed out the frustration in Washington, and that the United States lived for nearly two decades in the shadow of the Iraqi failure, until Russia invaded Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine led to renewed war fever in Washington.
The report pointed out that the issue is not related to the fact that the lessons of Iraq have been ignored, indicating that there is a group of the Republican right that feels that the United States should be more careful in Ukraine, but many in Washington want the Joe Biden administration to send more weapons faster.
He went on to say that the White House's sending tens of billions of dollars' worth of weapons to Ukraine, without risking the life of an American soldier, while also being careful not to allow the war to spill over, may have struck the right balance.
Therefore, the report considered that if the situation remained, this "means that the lessons of the Iraq war have been integrated into the mentality of Washington's foreign policy."
The report added; The view of the Iraq war will change again if Iran faces unrest, explaining that the expression regime change is no longer a dirty word with regard to Tehran, and that it is possible to imagine the collapse of the mullahs' regime there within a few years.
He continued, saying that when the general instability in Iraq and the poor performance of Iraqi democracy have a great relationship with Iranian interference in Iraq's affairs, a new regime in Tehran may lead to much greater political progress in Baghdad.
Finally, while the Vietnam War, which took place in the era of mass recruitment, changed America and its culture, the Iraq War, which occurred in the era of the all-volunteer army, fundamentally changed only Washington. Donald Trump's rise was only marginally caused by the Iraq war. (The biggest cause—but not the only one—was labor market turmoil caused by China's integration into the global economy.) Vietnam helped give birth to rock music, radical politics, and the idea that government, which got the country through the Depression and World War II, And she sent a man to the moon, she can't be fully trusted anymore.
While the report drew attention to the cultural and political change brought about by the Vietnam War in America, it considered that the Iraq war, on the contrary, had limited cultural effects, but indicated that it caused the emergence of new factions in Washington, a change that could have global repercussions. .
He continued, saying that the Iraq war was the reason for the drift of elements of the Republican right in Washington towards the new isolationism, and that it was Iraq that helped, in part, President Biden's follow-up of a policy of caution in sending weapons to Ukraine, so as not to allow the spread of the Ukrainian war to the countries of the alliance. NATO". The report stressed that "Iraq will remain a cautionary tale for years to come."
