Let's assume that eventually everything turns out alright politically for Iraq and there's a new constitution, elections, a new government, relative peace, et cetera.

Like most countries in the world, the (new) Iraq would have a national holiday, like the U.S. has the 4th of July.

The question arises as to what exactly would that holiday be in celebraqtion of. Usually such holidays celebrate national independence and/or an event directly linked to it (e.g. an uprising against invaders or occupiers). Can we expect the Iraqis to be celebrating anything related to the American occupation as a matter of national pride?

There is something wrong with this picture.
