The Condition Of Iraq 's Demographic State Is Not Good

In conclusion, President George Bush’s letter shows how united the world is against Iraq’s aggression. Twenty-eight countries would give military aid and one hundred governments would agree with the United States position. Iraq has no allies in their takeover of Kuwait. Bush’s threats of military action challenge Saddam Hussein’s arrogance and sense of infallibility. Warnings of the destruction of Iraq’s military and loss of life would be on the hands of Hussein himself. The United States would not be responsible for Iraq’s losses. Again, the primary audience for this letter is Hussein himself, because in a dictatorship such as Iraq, the people themselves are deprived of such information. Brute

The invasion and the war in Iraq remains a continuous topic of divisiveness and sensitivity in today’s America. One of the negative evaluation of the war is attributed to the false impression of the length of the war which lasted seven years, not six months as presumed in 2003. As the invasion initiated, the ideologies of American government then failed to perceive the large number of troops required, casualties and the financial toll in the interest of the preventive war doctrine. However, when weighing the failures of this war, there are successes brought home that relate mostly to the lessons the American military and the government learned with the use of counterinsurgency tactics after “winning the hearts and minds” of Iraqis (Young). Nevertheless, with evaluation through levels of analysis, the accomplished agenda of ending Saddam Hussein’s regime justifies success and failure, mutually.

Now more than 21 million Iraqis own a phone. 69 percent of Iraq’s population said their personal finances are positive. Also, Iraq’s unemployment rate is only 5 percent higher than the United States at 15 percent. Even though we do not want to have the living conditions they do in Iraq, they are better due to American’s intervening. The US now has an ally in the middle of the Middle East which is very important.

This paper will look at and discuss the presidency’s actions involving Iraq from Reagan to Obama. Each and every president during this time has used different strategies and formats to get their agenda across, to not only convince the public, but the international community as well. We will show how Iraq has gone from an ally to overthrowing the government, to the ensuing turmoil that this created for everyone involved, from ours and their citizenship, governing bodies, and other world leaders. With over 35 years of intervention, we will determine if there has been a consensus of actions among our presidents, and see if there is a cohesive US strategy and long term goals that have been reached for all our effort and actions to all of this.

The root of those problems exists because the people of Iraq don’t have enough money to afford health care to prevent and cure disease and infections. “The mortality of children in Basra has increased by nearly 30% compared to the Sadaam Hussein era. Children are dying on a daily basis and no one is doing anything to help them (Dr. Haydar Salah). The air is being polluted with toxic debris of British and American explosives. It is a major primary cause of death amongst the children of Iraq. It is also a diagnosis of cancer. As a result, that concludes that Iraq needs to have an enhanced education plan in school. Dr. Jawad Al-Ali, a cancer specialist at the Basra City Hospital said “Before the gulf War we only had 3 or 4 deaths in a month from cancer. Now it’s 30 to 35 patients dying every month. Our studies indicate that 40-48% of the population

     It is a tragedy of global proportions that the world’s Arab peoples, practically without exception, live under dictatorships which have systematically impoverished their sociopolitical, cultural and economic development. A report by 30 Arab researchers on behalf of the UN Development Fund in 2002 looked at 22 Arab countries with over 280 million citizens. It found that more than 50% of Arab women are illiterate; spending on scientific research was a pitiful 0.4% of GDP; 0.5% of Arabs had access to the internet; there are more books translated into Spanish each year than into Arabic in the last ten centuries; economic growth over the past decade averaged just 0.5% per annum due to lack of investment. The

During the 1980’s, Saddam Hussein and the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party controlled the Iraqi government. During their rule, Iraq had and unprecedented amount of high economic growth and soaring prosperity, but they also faced social and political stagnation. The annual income for an average citizen had decreased because of foreign sanctions, and several Ba’ath party economic policies. Hussein surrounded himself with those who were most loyal to him and became the father of the nation to the Iraqi people. During this period, Iraq was considered a stable state and considering the fact that many horrific criminal acts were committed by the regime, the state of Iraq was a functional one. As history has shown us many developing countries with dictator’s states tend to be more successful under an oppressive regime than having a democratic society. The Ba 'ath Party also created what would become a propaganda center for pro-Saddam literature, Movies, songs, and more. It was said that the propaganda campaign created a common sense of

Ask anyone about the current issues in Iraq and you will hear a multitude of answers, questions, remarks, backlash, and support for our countries involvement. Sure some things could have been done better, some things could have been avoided completely, but when you talk to someone who has personally witnessed 184 women setting themselves on fire in protest to the way men are treating them you can’t help but admire the change today. With the help of US and various foreign countries, Iraq is rebuilding itself from the ground up, repairing itself from previous dictatorship. There are three major concerns in Iraq, political freedom (including freedom of religion), women’s rights, and better education. These issues are far from being resolved,

Iraq is a war stricken country, with billions of dollars invested in rebuilding the country's bases along with its economy. With $530 billion going into reaching the country's oil production goals. Studies show that 75% of Iraq’s GDP comes from oil production, the highest among major oil producing countries. This is due to Iraq’s growing dependence on oil production and exports. Countries that don’t have diverse sources of income can suffer if the demand for the one source that they depend on falls in the

However, Iraq suffers a growing shortage of electrical energy because of an increase in demand (see Fig. 3). The electrical power generation stations have been failed to fulfil the demand of power because of numerous defects and limited production capabilities due to deterioration. The electricity consumption in 2009 was 52 billion kWh in Iraq. During the Gulf War; electricity infrastructure of Iraq was severely damaged, suffered from a lack of investment and available equipment while under sanctions, and suffered further following the invasion in 2003. Now Iraq requires more power gradually due to its rising population growth and demands. The Iraq’s population increased from 14 million in 1980 to 32 million in 2010 and it is expected to

Prior to the Iraqi invasion, the country under the radical leader Saddam Hussein, despite the Kuwait Invasion by Iraq led to the downfal of the Iraqi economy. The Gulf War of 1991 was damaging for both Kuwait and Iraq, however Hussein remained in power despite his harsh treatment of the Kurds. During the Gulf War, the state of Iraq suffered economic sanctions from the United States which devasted the nation and left many people unhappy with the regime. Furthermore, the sanctions imposed on Iraq also negatively impacted its people as there was an increase in malnuitrition. “ Therefore, the imposition of sanctions post-1990 had a particularly severe effect on Iraq’s economy and food security levels of the population. The State of the World’s Children Report, 1997 (UNICEF) states that the per capita income in Iraq dropped from $3510 in 1989 to $450 in 1996. The average salary dropped to 3 to 6 US dollars per month by 1999, largely due to a rapid depreciation of the Iraqi dinar” (Sen, B, 2003). The country was to experience more instability after the U.S invasion in 2003. The invasion conducted by the United States, led the state into a state of instability. As the regime change made Iraqis unhappy, they destroyed infrastruture and began

SOCIALLY, following the war with Iran in 1988, Iraq was ranked 50 in the 1990 UNDP Human Development Index, which measures national success in education, GDP, and health. Iraq was nearing the top of the middle range of countries in regard to the implementation of basic social services and infrastructure. However, under Saddam’s rule, the prosecution of Shiites and Kuwaitis was a normal occurrence. Called by some a genocide, the period of murder, terror, and persecution faced by these groups was the foundation for a long-lasting unrest within the hearts and minds of Iraqi citizens. The rest of the Iraqi citizens, however, lived normal, comfortable lives. In the late 20th century, many traveled from afar to utilize and learn from Iraq’s intricate network of hospitals and social centers regarded as the best in the region. (CIA 2) However, constant war drained Iraq’s wealth and decimated its people. In the Iraq-Iran War, Saddam Hussein unwillingly forced Iraq into a disastrous attempt to overthrow the Islamist government in Iran. When the dust settled, over 200,000 Iraqis were dead, and more than twice this number were wounded. Iraq’s increasing debt, nearing about 75 Billion, soon had the Arab

While the Iran-Iraq War during the 1980's may have permanently altered the course of progress in Iran and Iraq, the war also altered the resulting permanent involvement of the rest of the world in the middle-east. The rich and complicated history in Iraq has established numerous cultural and ethnic traditions that all play a part in where the country is today. The Iran-Iraq War brought into focus some of those traditions and how they conflicted, while also bringing Iraq and its economic situation into the spotlight. Being on top of some of the most mineral rich soil in the world makes Iraq a major contributor to the world's economy through petroleum and crude oil exports. This, among other reasons, ties nations

In recent years, the Iraqi nation has endured a crisis that will forever remain in the hearts and minds of the Middle Eastern culture. However, the outcomes of the War on Iraq will not change the long-lasting and passionate traditions and memories that have been held in the country for decades. One major event that happened in Iraq’s history is that on October 3, 1932 Iraq was established as an independent nation. Iraq has always been a country in which respect and generosity have been highly valued and play an important cultural role in everyday life. Additionally, approximately ninety-five percent of Iraqis are Muslim, and therefore Islam is the official religion of this nation (Gutierrez 1). Furthermore, Iraq is a

This essay is going to cover the country of Iraq. I have found its history very interesting and facts about the country, culture and military. This country has an astounded religious and cultural history. I believe Iraq was once self sufficient because of its Dictator however a great threat to the world. Sometimes I am very puzzled how we invaded the country and changed their government from a Baathes dictatorship to a multicultural, multiethnic democratically elected government. Based on my personnel opinion I believe that Iraq will never be a self-sufficient Country if its government remains democratically ran until people there could put aside their religious beliefs, political beliefs and ethnic differences for their countries stability. If Iraq could eventually resolve its inner issues with civilians, government and military our government could potentially have a stronghold for any potential future operations we may have in the Middle East.
