Today Iraq does not really exist as a unified state. It does not have a central authority that governs all of the country, even though it has a so-called government in Baghdad. It does not have an army or a police force that is capable of keeping law in order. Its infrastructure is totally destroyed, and nothing works in the country. Water is not available to a large part of the country, electricity works some days and others not, and the basic necessities of life that we take for granted do not exist in Iraq. Medical Facilities are very and extremely poor, and education is in shatters. In fact, the country had been thrown back to many years ago.
Politically and socially, Iraq today is in effect divided into three parts: 1. The Kurds in the north, 2. The Sunnis in the center, 3. The shia' in the south. Although the central government in Baghdad and the International Community keep stressing the fact that Iraq is united and must stay so, the reality on the ground says something else. Iraq unfortunately is split between these three different sectors, and it is hard to see how they will ever be able to get along with each other in the future. The daily mass killings that take place in Iraq as a result of inhuman terrorist bombings on innocent people clearly show not only the internal instability in Iraq, but also the extreme hatred that these sects have and show for each other.
The United States excuse for the War in Iraq has encountered intense criticism from a range of popular, authorized, and official sources, whether in the U.S or out. Considerably, critics have attacked the United States and its other allies for not dedicating enough troops to the mission, and for allowing and committing extensive human rights abuse. As the war continued and developed. Critics have also criticized the human and financial costs. Additional criticisms included authority of the invasion, insufficient troop levels, inadequate post-invasion plans, human and financial costs, unfavorable effect on global war on terror, and additional damages to America's traditional alliances.
Of course there are many different opinions on the war in Iraq, where 70% of the Iraqis want American troops to leave Iraq bye next year because they think that American troops are "provoking more conflict than it's preventing", and that the Iraqi governmernt would be strenghthend if the U.S troops or forces left Iraq. Later on, a survey proved that that most Iraqi people believe that the presence of U.S. forces is making things worse, and that most of the population consider attacks on coalition forces "acceptable". In addition to that, U.S forces in Iraq think that the U.S. should exit the country within a year, and around 25 countries dissaprove of the U,S handling towards the War in Iraq.
