The U.S. and Iraq are in the process of negotiating a long-term security agreement and there is speculation that the U.S. plans to enslave Iraqis through this security agreement. Because of this possibility, there is talk of the Islamic world stopping this negotiation to preserve the Iraqi people's freedom from American's.

As discussed in the article Iran: U.S. Security Deal Will Enslave Iraqis, other speculation is that this agreement would result in permanent occupation of American troops in Iraq. With the finality of this agreement, the legal basis to keep U.S. troops in Iraq would be established despite the end of the U.N. mandate at the end of this year. Support of this deal comes from the belief that it will ensure that the Iraq's Shiite-led government will not become a satellite of the Shiite-dominated Iran as American occupation decreases in Iraq. The hope is that the final decision on this deal will be resolved by midsummer of this year.
