The world’s eyes are on Iraq again. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has acknowledged that America is considering launching drone strikes inside Iraq to help shore up the Iraqi government after militants from a group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) seized towns in the northern part of the country after fierce fighting. However, Iraqi-American analyst Raed Jarrar, in an interview with Democracy Now! argues that from an Iraqi perspective, America's intervention will be perceived as yet another example of a U.S. military strike on Iraq that will not offer any solution.
