Are patriotism and its measurement merely the make-believe and sayings or otherwise there are conditions for their expression. In addition, are words the proportion and volume of patriotism or otherwise the attitudes reflecting originality and fundamentals? Surely, for each claim there is an evidence and argument, and for each attitude there is a truth and a proof, this is evidently not philosophy and interpretation, but there are clear–cut lines for each case construed on the basis of criteria and fundamentals making the picture clearer and analyzing the pretension and attitude, to give then the result that reflects reality. What I mean by this connection between its state and the metaphoric expression of state from which outcomes are manifested which form the rate of success in giving results exceeding the correct rate of 90%. Hence, I compare as an Iraqi citizen living on Iraq territory the current state of Iraq and the attitudes of all who appeared on the political arena, their allegations, and clarify the picture and pinpoint who is who the sincere and false claimant. And additionally, who is who the honest, stout man of attitude and the weak profiteer of the Iraqis condition for private interests or agendas' interests he is working for with other countries. So, the Iraqi today is an adept critic and informed politician, sensible perceptive who has assimilated the whole lesson and got his Master's degree in evaluation with distinction, by virtue of the arduous experience, over the past seven years of occupation, so the Iraqi today assesses the status, recognizes the sincere intentions, and knows very well the chalk from cheese. These are the lessons of life and natural results of experience. For patriotism is not just a claim, it is rather practical real actions on the ground reflecting the size of authentic patriotism for each courageous and valiant man of attitude, and from here results and assessments emanate, for the clean history and attitudes are not purchasable or salable and not established according to a specific plan or method but generated with convictions of mind, thought, belief, and faith based on fundamentals that do are not liable to trade nor supply. From here, the Iraqi today can give a status report for each case and promptly without premises, discern every thing and say that so–and–so is patriotic, of course, because he never traded in the homeland, and maintained the scales. While, so–and–so a liar claimant because he traded in the national fundamentals.
