Failure in Iraq models

Reap the Karrada bombing, at the end of the month of Ramadan, the lives of more than 280 Iraqi martyr.

It was not the first bombing, and will not be the last, in an unbroken chain of crimes against the Iraqi people, who have turned its members into dry figures in the media, remember tragedies to take the flag, nor the media deal this with those horrific massacres, but to serve the political and sectarian agendas.

The most important is Iraq itself: how it got to this stage of the weakness of the state and erosion, and the disintegration of society and the lack of security?

Must return to the moment of the US occupation of Iraq, they articulated a moment, should not be ignored or underestimated the continuing effects.

Occupation came model, based on democracy, sectarian and ethnic groups, the Iraqi people were divided into Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, and arrangement of the political process, the basic positions, within the framework of quotas between these groups.

Designed the new Iraqi state model based on be Iraqi society from different groups (within the arbitrary division recognizes Kurdish nationalism, and divide the Arab Sunnis and Shiites), you need to understanding each other to share power, and the Department of State, and instead of having a national group with a common identity, competing within and among affiliation her political party, to represent its interests, has become sectarian and ethnic groups, political entities competing within their respective parties to represent their interests within the state, as opposed to other groups.

This model, which was marketed as a substitute for civilized for national integration and forced, in the construction of state failure, and succeeded only in fragmentation of Iraqi society, and stimulating narratives incoherent and contradictory groups in conflict, and the destruction of the minimum national joint, which does not state no democracy without.

And the failure of democracy imposed by force of foreign intervention in achieving the promised democratic model, and succeeded in the production of civil wars, and proved that democracy need to ground the national political will, the creation of democratic transformation, beyond the idea of ​​hitting the national sovereignty, and the division of society by foreign intervention.

What about who ruled Iraq after the occupation?

They were opposed to the regime of President Saddam Hussein, and they were Ieddon failure points, and point to tyranny and authoritarian rule, Saddam's regime has already failed in many things, most notably his failure to push for modernization in Iraq, to ​​return to the clan and kinship, as a protector of fundamental to the rule of authoritarian, turned Baath Party to interface to the rule of tribal, beat all parties, and used the slogan of Arab nationalism Tbreraa system, replaced with the Arab identity of tribal identity, and sentenced to a state-based real kinship and patronage.

Faced parties and forces of the Islamic Shiite This prototype model is based on sectarian identity in self and society and the state definition, and the anecdotal claims that the rule of Iraq, "a Sunni," and that the Shiite majority to regain its right to rule Iraq, that this opposition against the regime of sectarian propaganda to justify Taiviha they are, it interpreted the tribal and kinship within the system as sectarian.

Although the number of the founders of the call and led the party were part of the Muslim Brotherhood in Iraq, but that the party, with the rest of the Shiite Islamic forces, provided a model for the inability of sectarian identity narrow bypass, and produced many misfortunes, drag sectarian polarization that insisted on strengthening

It boils down sectarian parties Project, the dominant system of quotas, in the sectarian pricing, corruption Almtserbl the cloak of religion and ritual confessional.

These parties ruled over perception "to root out," with raised by this word of sensitivity and aversion, was the title is the uprooting of the former regime and his staff codes, if the department expanded to include Baathists joined the party as a state party, and the other has a political account with them filter through activation of ablation mechanism , sparking resentment and sectarian feuds, especially with the attempt to impose a Shiite state identity, exudes Btqosjh, is the year that they are a group outside the state identity completely, and all this culminated in wars and displacement between the warring militias.

Corruption and looting of public money being abnormal rates, it is incredible that the oil countries such as Iraq suffers sons from a lack of basic services, and infrastructure is bad, with a security failure.

The ruling party is facing all these challenges, the strengthening of the Shiite ritual, and to encourage the formation of processions and visit the shrines, through granting leave to state employees on religious occasions.

Traditional work can be seen from many Islamist parties, do not have a program of work, and economic projects, it covers the failure and corruption and looting happening in state institutions, trying to tickle people's feelings slogans and religious rituals, and playing on the conflicts of identity.

What keeps these parties are in power they are based, despite its utter failure to Asboah sectarian and confessional feelings pricing and the state of fear of the other group and Mtpartyaha, and this is what restores the sectarian whole system production, and the location in which these parties.

Constitute a failure in Iraq models exemplary.

However, no one seems to have already considered, Fastgathat some Arab elites of Western forces coming in to rid of the dictatorship, and the build-up to the confessional identity expands, and acceding to new elites, and the parties of political Islam does not leave the sectarian pricing box, and so on, escalating violence, and expands failure in Iraq models to the rest of the Arab East.
