As an Iraqi, I do ask this question to myself a lot, what the world opinion on modern Iraq. It changed a lot especially after ISIS war, but people here generally don't value the change that much due to high unemployment rates, drought, and bossy militias.

I don’t think about Iraq. Should I?

Just going by population, you should about as much as you think about Canada.

Uh oh, I think about Canada a lot.

I didn't see the domain at first, haha. Substitute in Italy or Poland if you want. You should think about Sweden or Greece a lot less, going by population like this.

By money or something like that Iraq is way smaller than Canada, and by geopolitics way bigger. By land it's between Sweden and Japan. We're all kind of in an information bubble in the first world. It's okay, the first step is knowing you have a problem.
