One who would fight against a regime for any cause, the aim should not be revenue as it seems through the recent development of events in the region, unfortunately, even after the historic Arab Spring.

The same stature should be with one who rule a country where widely accepted democratic form of governance has not yet come into effect. With the turmoil going on in Iraq, both the governing and governed have been compelled to go against the regime because of the only reason of wealth, means oil. This would naturally invite exclusives and inclusive or the relevant or irrelevant or concerned or unconcerned. However, ground reality cannot be ignored although, unfortunately, a chosen figure from majority has turned to be head of state due to mainly the circumstances of the movement.

With Iraq the US has made the mistake when they put Maliki as the prime minister for which they are struggling how to back and balance the situation there.

Although a stage yet again is come up to the US to mount themselves over it act accordingly as the sole superpower. Therefore, it seems, President Barack Obama at the movement seems too calculative throwing himself on two boats simultaneously-precision combat but not conventional as did before.

Even if the 300,000 barrels per day produced from Beiji facility is meant for exclusive domestic consumption, the turmoil in Iraq has created fluctuations in economic equations especially in the stock markets around the world.

The recession and the Arab spring and now the struggle faced in Iraq are all have made life in confusion leading to price hike for oil, inflation, GDP fluctuations and so on. It is not the time to go for academic presentation of the matter absolutely in analytical order. There are loud cries from some corners of WWIII fearing the way events unfold in this region. I agree with the Saudi foreign minister’s opinion of an ‘inclusive’ structure of governing body formatted and immediately applied to Iraq that US warship moved forward. The term inclusive, incidentally, should have an ‘Iraqi democratic definition.’
