Kerry's visit was the first by an American Secretary of State in four years. Baghdad University Professor Muntasser Idani says the U.S. needs to re-engage with Iraq in order to balance growing influence by regional powers like Turkey and Iran.
“Iraqis do not receive signals about U.S.A. policy and international policy in Iraq. And Iraqis see only Iranian signals in Iraq and Turkish signals in Iraq. And this is very dangerous," he said.
He says more forceful U.S. diplomacy is also needed to address the Syrian conflict, which is aggravating Sunni-Shiite divisions across the Middle East.
