Everyone in Iraq agrees that over the past few years, Iraq has experienced a growing imbalance in the management of its foreign relations that led to the rupturing of ties with a number of neighboring countries, creating an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust. Perhaps the only disagreement is the reason for this imbalance.
Logic dictates that a state rebuilding itself should take the initiative and expand its international relations, but some in Iraq still believe that the country's problem has not been in the management of foreign relations, but in other countries' hostility toward Iraq, including allegedly plotting against it, supporting terrorism and trying to thwart the power structure introduced after 2003.
