18. März 2010, von Thomas von der Osten-SackenIraq is the country that refuses to die: Saddam Hussein tried to break his people by torture and poison gas, but he failed. America arrogantly mismanaged the first years of its occupation and nearly triggered a civil war, but the Iraqis held on. Iran tried to choke its neighbor, assassinating Iraqis it didn’t like and bribing the country’s politicians.
Somehow, the Iraqi nation not only survived these catastrophes but is also becoming the Middle East’s most freewheeling democracy.
