The 2003 US led invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq continues to divide opinion both between, and within, the East and the West.
Inside Iraq is a weekly insight into this, one of the most important, and divisive, political issues of our time. The programme will explore some of the fundamental issues affecting Iraq and its people.
Is Iraq a fledgling democracy, a beacon of light for a Middle East largely controlled by kings and dictators, or a disastrous experiment in imperialism, and a breeding ground for extremism?
 
In the context of escalating sectarian strife and a rising death count, Inside Iraq will examine these central questions as well as reacting to the very latest news developments in the country.

Not only experts and academics, but politicians and decision makers of the highest levels – from Iraq and elsewhere – will debate the issue of the week in a dynamic environment that does not shy away from controversy.

Coming up on Inside Iraq:
 
Arab summit, US and Iraq

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia described the US military presence in Iraq as 'illegitimate' during the opening of the summit meeting of Arab leaders in Riyadh this week.

The Saudi monarch's choice of words is regarded by many observers as unprecedented since Saudi Arabia is normally a staunch US ally, and one which quietly aided the 2003 US-led invasion of

Iraq.

Does such a high-level chastisement reflect a common view at the Arab summit regarding the US role in Iraq? Will Arab concerns make any difference to US policy and thinking on Iraq?

Our guests this week are Jihad Khazen, the editor of Alhayat Newspaper in London, Patrick Seale, an author and expert on Middle East affairs and Dr Samir Mutawi, the former Jordanian information 
Dr Samir Mutawi
minister
