(If were Iraqi given the right opportunity, and offered means of aid in the areas of creativity, innovation and development, it would have been now a model of civilization with reputation emulating the most advanced countries… we are certain of that and will not cease until we lead our people to this summit)

They are numbering hundreds of thousands, however, those who realized material, moral or political success are but a very few, not by virtue of the certificates they hold or patriotism they grasp but thanks to determination, will and kind patience. And if we were to hold a comparison between the number of the successes who made it by their own effort and strife in the world of developed nations, and in is the so-called developing nations we would find that the proportions of successes in the first world is much more higher than those of the second world, and the only reason that explains this disparity is the will of life and seriousness in work, and being ready to sacrifice money, time and self in pursuit of success, progress and coping with crises.

Then, it is shameful that many people resort to suspending failure, backwardness and disunion on the peg of  foreign interventions, international plots, external assault and other inventions used to talk about and justify failure.
