Introduction There have been increased cases of terror attacks and the government has put her best effort to fight the war. The government has used various strategies to ensure that the war against terror is won and that all countries are made free of dictatorship leaders, thus creates more democratic space. The American government has had various allies who have assisted in the terror fight; such include the British and the Turkish government. The fight against terror was intensified especially after the September 11 th attacks in2001. One of the nations that have been under pressure to fight terror and dictatorship has been Iraq. The US government expected that after toppling of Saddam Hussein and the democratic election of new leaders in Iraq would have brought changes in the country. But since the fall of Saddam, the Iraq war has not been won, and the government of America is not just yet ready to give up on war in Iraq as this might culminate into catastrophic effects in America.

The national Security Council realized that in Iraq, the war will not be won by the enemies surrendering, nor it be signaled by a single event, but it is a process that had to take various steps, (National security council, 2005 p3). Whichever the case, the American government was not just yet ready to let go off the war in Iraq nor is it ready to loose. This is because the general out come of Iraq war will affect the whole of Middle East relationship with the US.
