I am Tabarak an Iraqi student from Baghdad University. I strongly condemn Ahmadi Nejad coming to Iraq because he is a terrorist and a criminal. Every thing happening in Iraq such as the killings, robbery, kidnapping, arresting and taking into prison is under his control. He supports and funds the Iraqi militants. I do not except him coming to Iraq. We ask all Iraqis who love their homeland and all political activists to stop Ahmadi Nejad, this killer to Iraq. He is coming to negotiate for his own benefits not for the well being of Iraq. Has he not had enough of the Iraqi's blood? Never ever will even one Iraqi from any of the Iraqi sectors want him in our country? I as an Iraqi student stand against Ahmadi Nejad coming to Iraq and I want all loyal Iraqis to condemn this act too.

Welcome to the forum Tabarak, I agree with you fully about this fanatic. His regime is a root cause of terrorism and murder in our country. Iran supplies weapons and training to Militias in order murder Iraq’s son and daughters so he should certainly be prohibited from using this visit as a stage for his propaganda. However, given that Maliki, Jaafari and Talabani have all visited Iran on various occasions, our anger and disgust should be aimed at these phony Iraqi leaders who have already sold us out to this archaic Iranian regime.
I hope you and your fellow students stay safe. God bless you and yours.
PS: Its best to avoid using your real name when posting on Iraqi forums because you never know who is monitoring them.

Dear Tabarek, Welcome to forum and I wish all the best in your studies, as I also salute all my fellow country men and specially my dear brother Al Ani,
It is true that the Iranian president is visiting Baghdad, that is a fact, it is true that Iran is supporting Militia’s in Iran, but who is not supporting a faction or a Militia in Iraq??? If I was to be told that Somalia!!! Has a Militia in Iraq I would believe that immediately, CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH IRAQI POLITICAL FACTION HASN”T GOT A FULLY OPERATIONAL MILITIA IN IRAQ,??????????
OR, INDEED , WHICH COUNTRY THAT IS INCLUDING THE USA AND UNITED KINGDOM, who is not supporting or leading a militia in Iraq!!!, let’s be logical.
Iran is a huge country of which we share a long boarder with, we can not sell and buy another country faraway from Iran!!!, so we have to think in long term relationship and mutual interests.
Brother Al Ani, we don’t want to go back to Algerian Treaty of 1974, when Saddam did kiss the hands of Iranian Shah, bringing shame and disrespect to an entire nation, also we are not in the process of establishing who started the Iran-Iraq war, and why, and indeed who did support this war and why, I suggest that we leave history to history and open a new chapter in our lives, which is founded on mutual respect, understanding and common interests.
Dear Brothers, we are living a bad times that we need to consider our priorities and understand our enemies carefully,
Dear Brother MarkOfTheBeast جزيل الشكر لك وللروح العراقية الطيبة كعادتنا فنحن مسامحين شريطة وقف الارهاب ضدنا I am happy to hear your words in this forum as a real Iraqi person,but as i said in arabic: that we need Iran starting to be as equal as we are, without terrorism but only with a good balanced relatonship...............etc
Dear Al Ani, thank you for your reply and I appreciate the word “Balanced” in your reply, exactly what we need to be, in order to establish a powerful prosperous country, If we do not elevate ourselves from the problems that we have, No body will be helping us to do that, and if they did, there will be a price for us to pay, If the Iraqi government does not start to respecting Iraqi citizens, we should not expect that foreigners respect our citizens.
What ever is happening in Iraq is a product of years of neglect and barbaric treatment of poor and hopeless people, that is the reaction for years of murder and social injustice,
Hopefully, that a great nation of Iraq would be able to produce a great leader who would be able to unite under one cause, to build a country that is second to none.
you have to know something iraq became weak because of dividing the country the north of iraq was divided into three parts part of it in syria and turkey and iran, and south of iraq was divided also and that is the ahwaz region with ofcourse the shat al arab.
iran and its borders and this large country you know and i know it is all fake borders and originaly iran (persia) is a very small land and region, because there was no suchthing as politicle borders it was only excisted 80 years ago, and iraq originaly is much more bigger like i said before and iran is originaly very small like i said before.
Dea Sadiq, thank you for your reply, I couldnt help my self thinking that you have claims in half of Iran, True historicaly speacking there was no boarders, and Kuwait was part of Iraq, what ever we have right now which has the name of Iraq, we should keep it safe for future generations, I am afraid in 20 years from now there will not a country called Iraq on the political map
مظاهرة في بعقوبة شمال شرق بغداد ضد زيارة الرئيس الإيراني للعراق
مظاهرة في بعقوبة شمال شرق بغداد ضد زيارة الرئيس الإيراني للعراق
جانب من المظاهرة في بعقوبة ضد زيارة الرئيس الإيراني أحمدي نجاد للعراق
تظاهر نحو 500 عراقي الخميس في بعقوبة شمال شرق بغداد إحتجاجا على الزيارة التي ينوي الرئيس الإيراني أحمدي نجاد القيام بها إلى العراق طبقا لما ذكره مراسل وكالة الصحافة الفرنسية
وقد رفع المتظاهرون الذين تجمعوا في حي المصطفى لافتات كتب عليها "لا، لا للنظام الإيراني"، و"السنة والشيعة في العراق أخوة، والعراق ليس للبيع
ومن المقرر أن يصل أحمدي نجاد إلى العراق الأحد في أول زيارة لرئيس إيراني إلى العراق منذ قيام الثورة الإسلامية في 1979 التي أطاحت بنظام الشاه. وينظر عدد من العراقيين إلى هذه الزيارة على أنها دليل على دعم الإيرانيين الشيعة لرئيس الوزراء العراقي نوري المالكي الشيعي بدوره
وكان العراق وايران قد خاضا حربا ضروسا بين 1980 و1988 أسفرت عن مقتل حوالى مليون شخص. وقد أرسلت ايران وفدا رفيع المستوى إلى بغداد تحضيرا لهذه الزيارة كما أفاد مصدر مقرب من هذا الوفد.
Wouldn't it be a tragedy if Ahmadinejad's convoy was blown up by one of the Iranian manufactured IED's on his way to Baghdad from the airport!
Anyway I came across this article today, very interesting.
Iraq braces for Ahmadinejad visit The Iranian leader's visit is welcomed, but it comes at a time when Iraqi Shiite allies are growing wary of Tehran's role in their war-torn country.
By Borzou Daragahi Los Angeles Times Staff Writer February 29, 2008
BAGHDAD — Hussein Athab visited Iran three times after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. The political science professor took in the religious sites and admired Iraq's bigger, richer and stronger Shiite Muslim neighbor to the east. But his esteem for Iran's government has since plummeted over what many here view as Iranian meddling and subversion in Iraq.
"We thought Iran would extend the hand of friendship," said Athab, a Shiite. "But it looks like Iran considers Iraq a playing card, and we don't want to be used as a playing card."
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrives Sunday to an Iraq far more leery of his country than it was after the ouster of Hussein. Publicly, Iraq's politicians welcome the hard-line president's arrival. He is the first leader of a Middle East country to visit Baghdad and grant the government the international recognition it craves. But privately, Iraqi officials say that Ahmadinejad and his clique are part of the problem. Iraqis would prefer a visit by a less divisive figure, such as former President Mohammad Khatami, a reformist.
"We know that Ahmadinejad is a controversial figure and we have seen some policy changes since the time of Khatami," Athab said.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, who visited Tehran in June, is to play host to Ahmadinejad, most likely at his heavily fortified compound outside Baghdad's U.S.-protected Green Zone. "The United States has no role in the visit," said Rear Adm. Greg J. Smith. Ties between Tehran and Baghdad's current Shiite leadership run deep and stretch back decades. During the 1980s, Talabani and other Kurds as well as Iraqi Shiite political parties and militias found refuge in Iran and fought alongside Iranian forces against the Iraqi army. Iran was among the first countries to officially recognize the post-Hussein government.
But even among Iraq's Shiite majority, which has long looked to Iranian coreligionists as protectors and patrons, there is a wariness about Tehran's ambitions and tactical maneuvers in their country. Many feel that Iraq has become a battleground in the 30-year feud between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic of Iran, and that Tehran has few qualms about sacrificing Iraqi lives and stability for its strategic goals.
"There's a problem because the Iranians feel threatened by the Americans, and they want to act tit-for-tat with the Americans," said Haider Abadi, a high-ranking advisor to Prime Minister Nouri Maliki. Both belong to the Islamic Dawa Party, which Iran sheltered during Hussein's rule. "Whenever Americans pressure Iran outside Iraq, the Iranians respond in Iraq. We're paying for this in blood."
Iraq's Sunni Arabs and former Baath Party loyalists have long resented Iran's influence and ambitions. But over the last two or three years, tensions have also increased between Iraq's Shiites and Iran. Abadi and other Iraqi officials said they would use Ahmadinejad's visit as an opportunity to warn Iran about its behavior in Iraq, including U.S. allegations that powerful explosives and other arms are smuggled from Iran into Iraq. "The relationship between Iran and Iraq started off very good after the collapse of the regime," Abadi said. "But it has become worse because of this. The Iranians must see this. It is not in their interest to have the Iraqis as their enemies. Ahmadinejad will be told that we cannot have good neighborly relations while Iraqis are being killed by Iranian bombs."
Iraqi officials are also struggling to defuse what they view as the rationale for Iran's alleged transgressions: the fear that the U.S. presence in Iraq will be used to undermine Tehran. Both Iraq's Kurds and Shiites have vigorously lobbied leaders in Washington and Tehran to set aside differences, at least when it comes to Iraq.
"Officials in Iraq are still putting great efforts to improve this relationship. . . . Instead of being a place for war, [Iraq] will be a place for peace," said Sheik Hamid Muala, a lawmaker who is a member of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, which has deep ties to Iran. But Muala and others acknowledged that more Iraqis have grown sensitive to Iran's role.
"Whether we like it or not, the Iranian influence is at a very high level in Iraq," said Qassem Dawoud, an independent lawmaker with close ties to the Shiite clerical leadership in Najaf. "We really are looking forward to a period when this influence should disappear."
Abadi praised Iranian Ambassador Hassan Kazemi- Qomi as one of only two foreign diplomats who regularly make the rounds of ministries to facilitate business deals and increase contacts. Trade between the two countries now totals $8 billion a year, much of it Iranian exports. Iran is also giving a $1-billion loan to Iraq. But U.S. and Iraqi officials allege that Iran's positive contributions come with a host of headaches. They accuse Tehran of supplying arms, training and direction to Shiite and Sunni paramilitary groups.
"They are bringing in tomatoes, potatoes, gas and electricity," said Jawad Bolani, Iraq's interior minister and a Shiite. "But then we also get rockets, weapons and missiles."
Abadi also said Iranians are interfering in Iraq's politics, supporting one faction over another with infusions of cash. But Iraqi officials point out that even the pro-U.S. Persian Gulf monarchies such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have invited Ahmadinejad on state visits.
"This guy came to power by a democratic election," said Khudair Khuzai, Iraq's minister of education and a confidant of Maliki. "Whether he's radical or moderate, the Iranian people chose him."
kuwait was never part of iraq and do not forget like i said before that their iraq land in syria, and iraq land in turkey and iraq in iran from the north and in the south, these are the parts that was stolen from iraq.
but kuwait was never a part of iraq that is what made the sactions in iraq and historically it was not.
Dear Sadiq, thanks for your reply, apparently you are misinformed about the entire subject, before the creation of Borders by the English (Bless Them) there was no STATE CALLED KUWAITE on the political map, and guess what, if you visit the cities of Mardeen and Ibrahim Al Khalil in Turkey you will realise that Iraq truly lost huge chunks of lands during the drawing of the political maps. We need to be Balance and say the truth even if the truth is so painfull that you can not stand it, I would be very happy to share any comments
