" “What people used to dream about was an Iraq for all Iraqis,” said Ahssan al-Shmmary, a political science professor at Baghdad University. “What was a dream for Iraqis has become a nightmare for Iraqis.”
He added, “That’s why people are not thinking of this.”
Mr. Shmmary’s comments belie his own fate. As a Shiite Muslim, he has seen his life improve enormously as the war upended a social order in which the minority Sunni population held the levers of power."
