Iraq: The Western allies have forgotten the country

The Iraqi situation is deteriorating faster than we had thought yesterday. Today, the Islamists managed to advance further towards the capital city. The armed forces have been able to fight a few battles, here and there, but they seem to lack proper leadership. And the country´s political leaders are now collecting the results of a very divisive governance.

On top of this, the key Western allies of Iraq, those who were quite fast at moving in in 2003, seem to be in another planet. There has been little movement, in the last few days, to try to get the West together in support of a country that has been, in the recent past, so much present in our political agenda.
