    These are the mechanisms of terrorism in Iraq which gives us two forms of terrorism. The first one is a terrorism of the Iraqi State at the international level and at the level of the governments in the Arab nation. In fact, state terrorism consists in the threatening of the other Arab Governments by Iraq to attack and wage the war on them. The second kind of the Iraqi terrorism consists in the terrorism of globalization which terrorists are practicing against the major developed superpowers. In this respect, the Iraqi terrorists are a very good example which could be called the state of tyranny and injustice. The latter has been caused by coercion in the past and State corruption in it. It did not amount to more than a fragile corrupt government authority that marginalizes, oppresses and weakens from time to time and always tends towards the worst, slavery and the humiliation of Iraqis. The latter have been always dominated by powerful and developed countries which have appointed themselves as the guardian of the security and stability of the world countries. As a result, the security of countries weakened. In fact, these superpowers have exploited the role of global decision of guardianship over these countries as a means to legitimize their blatant intervention in the destiny of nations including Iraq. Therefore, the Iraqi Government has to face all this and eradicate corruption from within the Government itself.

    The Iraqi government should face terrorism through its laws and by respecting the rule of law and the international standards in fighting terrorism. The Iraqi government should insist on facing terrorism deeply by laws and organizations against terrorism and under the control of judiciary and law and to be within the known standards and, from it, the international laws of fighting terrorism. The government should cooperate internationally to fight against the danger of terrorism and to reduce its financing. The Iraqi government should care for the importance of coordination and consultation between lawyers directly through fighting and from that, judges of the cases concerning terrorism and fighting against it, and the specialists in security and the situation of Iraqi government should be stronger than that in facing terrorism.

    The terrorist attacks in Iraq are rejected by anyone, because killing the women, the children, men and youth as well as destroying the mosques, temples and buildings let alone burning the lands and destroying life are stupid and dirty acts that destroy the infrastructure of the Iraqi people, who suffer terribly because of these destructive acts that demolish the Iraqi economy and affect the tourism, increase the unemployment rates, undermine security and stability and lead to the spread of violence and collapse of the state of Iraq, whose army was the strongest army in the world. However, the USA was afraid from it and it decided to destroy it through unjust invasion under the pretext of the presence of the nuclear weapons, which was a lie. Iraq did not have any weapons, but this false US accusation was faked to loot the riches of Iraq and destroy it. However, Iraq will restore its grandeur one day because it is beloved by the Arabs and it is a historic and great state.

    Al-Qaeda has undoubtedly obtained the highest degrees of cruelty that surpasses all other terrorist organizations. Al-Qaeda has followed the roughest methods in the implementation of any of their terrorist crimes on the territory of the sister country Yemen, and because of it, Yemen lost many young and good guys. It is known that Al-Qaeda is a grouping of mercenaries who have sold their hearts for money and blood and it has become a path for them.
