Wpływ polityki USA na powstanie „państwa” islamskiego. O spuściźnie prezydentury George’a W. Busha
The impact of US policy on the reformation of the Islamic “State”. The legacy of George W. Bush

Summary/Abstract: In 2003, Americans entered Iraq under the banner of war on terror. In addition to having weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein was accused of cooperating with Al-Qaeda. The plan of the administration of President George W. Bush seemed simple: to overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein, to protect Iraqi oil fields and begin the process of democratic transition. The planted seeds of democracy in Iraq would be scattered throughout the Middle East. The Americans committed many mistakes in Iraq, which had many repercussions not only for the US, but for the entire system of international security. The stabilization mission in Iraq did not diminish terrorism, but only created a convenient ground for the development of extremism, leading to the destabilization of the entire region. Today, a more problematic issue than the level of democracy in Iraq is the growing terrorist activity of the Islamic “State”, not only in the Middle East, but also in Europe.
