Hopefully the US congress and the Iraqi people won't allow this piece of sovereignty-stripping agreement to be signed.  We as Middle-Eastern peoples are tired of having our region being sought after for imperialistic aims by people who don't even see us as humans.  Just as Iran had lost territory during "The Great Game" between the UK and Imperial Russia, the current imperial power in the world (USA) is trying to take more from us.  [We already have lost our opportunity to have a secular democracy because of them]
