Features: In recent two decades, the issue of Iraq has been a focal point of the world, attracting widespread attention. Regarding the content and perspectives covered in the book, there are three points to note:
1. The issue of Iraq is highly complex, involving not only Iraq and other Gulf countries but also being closely related to major powers around the world. To cover all aspects of the issue comprehensively is likely beyond the capabilities of anyone. Furthermore, personal observations and experiences at any given time can only provide a glimpse or a single perspective.
2. In this book, the author speaks from the perspective of an ordinary citizen rather than as a representative of a government or ambassador.
3. Any individual's observations are inseparable from the historical context of the time, and their limitations are thus understandable. People's views on certain issues naturally evolve and change over time. The author sincerely hopes readers can benefit from this book.
When writing this book, the author adopted a chronological approach combined with event-based narration to allow readers to gain insights from the author's observations through a historical and dynamic lens, further enabling them to explore the issue of Iraq.
