Three years ago, on days like these, the then Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, came out to us to offer “golden” advice to the Iraqis to replace the accursed dollar with the Iraqi dinar, which would compete with the euro and outperform the British pound. The Sudanese gentleman, who discovered that he could compete with the late Adam Smith, believed that the Iraqi people were living in economic prosperity that no inhabitant on planet Earth could dream of, and because the Iraqi official, like a politician, sees no further than the Green Zone and its surrounding villas, palaces, and quarries, so the Sudanese gentleman believed that the Iraqi citizen Whoever lives in factories or in the outskirts of Samawah is confused about where to hide the dollars!

At that time, the decision to reduce the dollar was not an economic decision, but rather a big party for some representatives and bloggers who told us that the Iraqi citizen would occupy first place in social welfare, and that the time of unemployment was over, and factories would work 24 hours a day, and the farmer would export his produce to the farthest corners of Europe, and unemployment was below zero. At that time, a number of representatives entered the studio wearing the finest suits, to announce that the period of the rise of the dollar would end irrevocably, after which the energetic representative appeared to sing songs of joy. That goodness is coming, and in order to complete the chapters of the play, one of the leaders of the blocs told us that the dollar is on its way to collapse and that we will be the ones who will impose its price in the market. All these speeches and chants were launched on the night in which Mr. Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani asked us to “store” the dinar in water bottles, an idea that Adnan Al-Jumaili stole, but he replaced the dinar with the dollar. Shouts of admiration and chants of victory were emanating from inside the dome of Parliament. At that time, Representative Hanan Al-Fatlawi came out to us to explain her theory of the market economy.

After exactly three years, the Iraqi citizen woke up to find that the wedding of the dinar had ended, and that the dollar was jumping “the pole.” We found those who prayed and roamed on the air, living in complete silence. Some of them even declared that imperialism, along with Zionism, was conspiring against the Iraqi political experience and did not want it to stabilize. A political analyst asked us to leave the dollar and link the Iraqi dinar to the toman, so that we could live a happy life and eat a full-fat meal of “dignity.”

For years, the citizen lived with the commandment: “Get the dinar and throw out the dollar.” Let us discover that what is meant is for the wealth of scrap dealers in Iraq to increase, the coffers of bank owners to be filled, and currency to be smuggled, without anyone coming out to us to explain to us: Why?

In the contemporary history of Iraq, there was a person named Sasson Hasqeel, who took charge of Iraq’s finances during the first emergence of the state. His biography tells us that he was debating with Nuri al-Saeed about the meaning of democracy, and adjusting the budget in order to make the newborn Iraqi dinar more sound than the pound sterling. What was it that angered this brilliant politician? They are the ones with resonant speeches.
