I’m getting credits to watch this. I’m getting credits to watch this. I’m getting credits to watch this.
I wish that we here in America had more of the same mentality as Michael Momix from the American University in Baghdad, we can’t change history but the statues and artifacts need to be used as a reminder of what happened in the past and to never repeat it.
Richard thank you for the wonderful video on the new Iraq, it is so good to see the Iraqi people come back from all that destruction that we caused. I do understand about the shadow government that is emplaced by the Iranians, one day Iran will fall as well.
Tbe muslims won…

Imagine a United States of Arabia 🤩
Very well done. This makes me want to visit Iraq.
saddam's despotic palace is now the american university of iraq wow god bless the good ol USA
omg this is a condensed historical document
May the american invaders have their karma of self destruction 🎉🎉
It looks pretty good now that US forces are gone for some strange reason peace walks in after.
Give their gold back the US stole. The US should be sued for war crimes and restitution.
Respect to you, showing the real side of Iraq. Your Arabic is also brilliant.
“The invasion of Iraq was neither in self defense against armed attack, nor sanctioned by the UN Security Council authorizing the use of force by member states, and thus constituted the Crime of War of Aggression” (International Commission of Jurists Geneva)… UN Secretary General Kofi Annan declared the US invasion of Iraq illegal on Sept 15, 2004.
Thank you for posting about my country, Iraq. We are glad to have you among us. We love tourists very much ❤
It was apparently a good decision to invade Iraq even though the Invasion was built upon false inteligence or perhaps pure lies. It has never been a good idea to live in a country of dictatorial Regime. Iraqis are now free to chose the life they want. The woman has decided to refuse to cover her hair, something that is not in line with Islam. She is free anyway. After all Islamic faith and pratice are personal decisions and should never be imposed by governmenets. Only God has the right to punish those who refuse to follow or reward those who chose to follow. May God bless Iraq.
By this gospel you are SAVED , if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: *that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Co 15:2-4 )
⚠🌋〰🌊⚡🔥F I N A L W A R N I N G! It's the END of the world, Jesus is coming, rescuing/snatching believers UP to Heaven!* 🛈see Playlist. 𓆩♡𓆪
It's nicer than San Francisco.
United States you are useless. Can't even stop your own mass shootings.
You Have no right like Russia, the British, China have no right invading other countries.
Good to see this country is recovering.
Happy for this feature of Iraq. We need to see what it really is like there and that they are amazing people. one of my friends Keyvan was from Iraq when I was younger and he was such an amazing person.
Life after NBC and other swamp news networks sold this war to the American people on lie after lie.
America is towards of the front a war.
