The US occupation has damaged Iraqi civil society and infrastructure, fuelled terrorism and was carried out in the interest of capitalists rather than the Iraqi people. American capitalism has used the occupation to suppress workers rights and steal the natural resources of the country. Before the US invaded there weren’t any Islamist terrorist groups of any note in Iraq. Now there are, thus the secular nature of Iraqi society has declined under the occupation as secular forces are squashed between the Islamists and the US forces. read full story / add a comment

Answers to these and other questions will by provided by Fergus Campbell, author of a new book entitled 'Land & Revolution: Nationalist Politics in the West of Ireland, 1891-1921', recently published by Oxford University Press.
