You started at 1958 but Iraq still had opportunities to develop into a democratic government. More than thirty countries shifted from authoritarian government to democratic countries after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Iraq was ruled by the British Empire initially while other countries were developing autonomous self rule. Even so the Iraqi constitution of 1925 established Iraq as a constitutional monarchy, with a bicameral legislature consisting of an elected House of Representatives and an appointed Senate. The lower house was elected every four years. The first Parliament met in 1925. Ten general elections were held before the overthrow of the monarchy in 1958.

Shalah al-Din Yusuf bin Ayub was a great hero. Dante recognized him and so did the English. "I commend thee to Almighty God,” he said, placing his hand on his son’s head. “He is the source of all good. Do the Will of God, which is the Way of Peace. Beware of bloodshed; do not trust in that, for spilled blood never sleeps. Strive to gain the hearts of thy subjects and watch over all of their interests, for thou art appointed by God and by me to look after their welfare. I have become as great as I am because I have won the hearts of men by gentleness and kindness. Never nourish ill feeling toward any man, for Death spares none. Be prudent in thyself. God will pardon the penitent, for He is gracious." SALADIN personal.monm.edu
