		Iraq, an ally that has placed its trust in the United States, could face a humanitarian nightmare, and democracy movements throughout the region would be violently reversed.

	Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iraq was under Ba'ath Party rule from 1968 to 2003, in 1979 Saddam Hussein took leadership and became president until 2003.
		Iraq is considered to be one of the fifteen lands that comprise the so-called "Cradle of Humanity".

	MEI: Iraq's new government
		He also said the new government would have to earn its legitimacy by obtaining a UN resolution returning complete sovereignty, by providing security and restoring public services, and by moving as quickly as possible to hold elections by the expected date at the beginning of next year.
		But the new government will have to prove itself fast, particularly in the area of security — preventing both terror attacks and the aggressive Coalition counter-insurgency that many Iraqis complain unleashes poorly controlled firepower on to their communities.
		While few imagine that the new government will eliminate such patronage, there are hopes that it will curb it by making ministers answer to a single executive, as opposed to a divided IGC whose members each had a stake in the continuation of the old system.

	Guarantee Representation Of Women in the New Government of Iraq Petition
		As work progresses to draft a constitution and bill of rights for the new government in Iraq, it is imperative that the role of women is not eliminated or diminished.

	Opinion: Iraq's next government
		Military victory in Iraq will not strengthen our long-term security if the government that replaces Saddam Hussein's regime is unstable, unrepresentative or viewed as a puppet of the United States.
		Our government has neither the expertise nor the resources to bear that long-term burden alone, and working through the United Nations can help to repair relationships damaged in the dispute leading up to war.
		If our government encourages the establishment of a truly independent, broadly representative government in place of Hussein's tyranny, skeptical Iraqis are likely to embrace the process and anti-American sentiment in the region could dissipate.
