Iraq Situation In Current Year

The situation in Iraq that has been headache for the USA is not calming yet. Though USA has terminated its military operations. Offensive against Pro America activities are still continuing. It seems that situation during 2011 does not seem to change. In spite of spending billions of dollars and causing bloodshed of Iraqis by the USA, still government could not be constituted after parliamentary election last year. Elections were held during March 2010, though secular minded Ayad Allawi was ahead of all, but his party could not form government alone. He secured majority of the votes from Sunnis. Though Shia parties were in a position to form government but, there was a risk of aggression from Sunnis against Shias, if they were kept out of government. After Saddam Hussain, it is clear that both Sunnis and Shias can not step ahead if they they ignore each other. This present government is too fragile that can be blown away with the light wind. It is an interesting fact that present Iraqi government likes Iran more than the USA. Though, Americans fighters have left Iraq during August 2010, and remaining forces may be out of Iraq by the end of this year. However it does not mean that USA's involvement in this country has been ended. Still 50000 army personnel are deployed on different Iraqi bases. According to another agreement out of these 30000 soldiers will leave Iraq by the end of current year but 20000 will be there for the "so called" cooperation with the government. On other side the economy and the politics both will be highly effected by the regional powers like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
