El 9 de abril de 2003 Sadam Husein perdió el control de Bagdad y su estatua fue derrumbada. La autoridad provisional iraquí, compuesta por el grueso de los partidos que combatieron a la dictadura, resolvió declarar esa fecha como histórica. Sin embargo, en el primer aniversario de la caída del tirano no se han dado manifestaciones en las calles celebrando ese hecho o saludando a los soldados norteamericanos que le "liberaron" de él. Más bien las cámaras nos han mostrado imágenes en las cuales iraquíes se enfrentan a sus "salvadores" o conmemorando la liberación de Kut, Nayaf y Karbala de tropas extranjeras.

The Afghan Election Commission rejected President Hamid Karzai's call for an April presidential election, and delayed the poll to August 20, 2009, citing security concerns as well as preparatory time necessary for international observers to ensure a fair election. Yemeni President 'Ali 'Abdullah Salih rejected a US plan to send 94 Yemeni Guantanamo detainees to Saudi Arabia for terrorist rehabilitation, instead stating that Yemen would construct a rehabilitation center to accommodate returning prisoners. Since 2002, 13 Yemenis had been released from the prison.

With a massive U.S. military force blocking the main roads, the residents of this holy Shi'ite city have begun to voice strong criticism of Sheik Muqtada al-Sadr, the young cleric whose uprising has brought the threat of an attack.
Najaf people want peace and quiet," said Haidar, 39, who owns a small deli near the Imam Ali Mosque in the city. "Al-Sadr must get out of the city. This is not the time now to be against Americans even though I don't agree with the U.S. policy.

This article tries to chart some of the parallels between the British Mesopotamia Campaign in the First World War and the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Both campaigns were justified by faulty or contrived intelligence; both were launched with little consideration of the future potential needs of the liberated/occupied territory; and both were characterized by a lack of planning and clear objectives. However, in spite of their obvious paternalism, several military and civilian members of the British-Indian expedition had a fair understanding of the Middle East, Arabic, Islam, tribal society, and so on; this sort of expertise was almost completely absent both among those planning, and among those running, the US invasion of 2003.
