These days, it’s difficult to come by meaningful solutions for Iraq’s instability. At one point, the U.S. and international community at large were decisively engaged in securing Iraq’s future, but conflagrating instability throughout the Middle East seems to have befuddled the very allies who are inextricably linked not only to Iraq’s past, but also to its future. The refugee crisis in particular has left Western governments particularly exposed, with everyone from J.K. Rowling to the Pope calling on Europe and the United States to do more. Like Syria, Iraq has seen a resurgence of large-scale displacement over the past year – and yet there’s reason to hope. Iraq is led by an elected government that we hope has the political will to rid our country of terrorism and finally bring peace to our land, but it will take a much greater effort to steer the country in the right direction.
