And every war destroyed hundreds of educational institutions and the health, water and sewage plants and bridges, schools, oil installations and other author that martyrdom and death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis which impact heavily on progression and tnmihalmwardalbshrih in Iraq, so we hope and expect of friendly countries in the world and discreet financial organizations and primarily the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to put Iraq at the top of the list of States that are providing financial and technical support and care for her, especially since Iraq fighting terrorism from the world, there are inevitably Expected from the terrorists who are fighting in Iraq to go after their defeat of course to other countries and maybe in Europe and America and the rest of the world, but that same terrorist when killed or captured or have an injury ended 29/24
