'Time matters. Few, if any, of Iraq’s top warlords or political bosses will be alive to mark the 30th anniversary of the war, let alone the 25th. The question becomes what impact their deaths will have on Iraq’s political environment,' mrubin1971 writes.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — The Iraqi capital in 2023 is far different from Baghdad in 2003. Ramadi and Fallujah, once the hotbed of insurgency, are not only peaceful but also booming with construction and commerce. Sectarianism is, at least among the 50% of the population born after the war, in the rearview mirror. The parking lots of Baghdad’s malls and shopping centers are full of cars from Iraqi Kurdistan, predominantly Shi'ite southern Iraq, and largely Sunni al Anbar province.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Corruption throttles Iraq’s potential. Political parties across Iraq no longer openly fight for turf, but they act as mafias who drain Iraq’s economy and the aspirations of the youth. Many of the same political power brokers whom Americans engaged during the occupation remain paramount influences today. Time matters, though.
