The occupation of Iraq and the promotion of a very divicive variety of identity politics there by the American and Cpoalition forces has resulted in the civil society of Iraq falling apart at its seams. A vast majority of Iraqis feel that they were better off during the days of Saddam Hussein than today. For all his faults the fact remains that Saddam presided over a multi ethnic and multi cultural Iraq in which the basic frame of identification remained Arab nationalism. Shias, Sunnis, Christians and Kurds had a place in that rainbow caalition even though it could appear jaded and faded and evebn tattered. Now Iraq is heading tyowards a Civil War and the destruction of the third most sacred mosque at Samara obviously by Sunnis has taken the country a step closer toward war. The ill advised AMERICAN INVASION has resulted in the entrire fabric of Iraqi society falling apart at its seams. In fact the recent public opinion poll suggests that the vast majority of people all over the world believe that the Invasion has resulted in making a delicate situation even worse.
