Iraqi Intelligentsia: Between the Absence of the Role and the Weakness of the Will
Abstract
Abstract: Today, Iraq is facing a critical phase and a difficult turning point in its history. This is exemplified by the challenges of preserving national cohesion, by warding off the threat of security breaches, sectarian tension and resisting terrorism from outside, in exchange for rationalization, guidance and an attempt to reach an understanding that reconciles views and jurisprudence towards that, in addition to continue the completing of the political process, establishing democracy in the country, and achieving a measure of social justice for its people, represented in political participation, wealth sharing and exploitation, in a way that serves its social, health, and economic development and in all other areas. To achieve such goals, we firmly believe that the intellectual elite, the so-called intelligentsia, is more capable than others, if it has the self-will to change and modify the paths of society on the one hand, giving it the opportunity and lifting the restrictions that hinder its work from the authority on the other hand, in order to set out the concepts that unite its sons and guide their various leagues. And not to leave them prey to religious-sectarian-political ideologies that exploit the ignorance of the public, their economic crises and social shocks, which were generated after the sudden collapse of the regime and the occupation of the country, and the subsequent facts that multiply day after day.
