| Abstract: |
The article examines the complex legacy of the 2003 Iraq War, emphasizing the need to understand the conflict from the Iraqi perspective rather than solely through American narratives. It outlines the war's three phases— the invasion, the insurgency, and the surge campaign— and highlights the significant societal changes and violence that ensued, particularly the sectarian strife between Sunni and Shi’a groups. The article also discusses the long-term consequences of the war, including the displacement of millions of Iraqis, the destruction of cultural heritage, and the political marginalization of Sunnis following the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. Ultimately, it argues that a comprehensive history of the Iraq War must include the experiences and memories of the Iraqi people to fully grasp its impact and ongoing ramifications.
