Over the last decade since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, America's standing in the world has volleyed sympathetic, after the attacks, to war mongering villain to perhaps something in between since the election of Barack Obama. As the tenth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Ros Atkins, host of the BBC's World Have Your Say — which reaches 45 million people around the globe — has been talking to people all over the world to gauge foreign opinion of the U.S.

Monday was the deadliest day of the year in Iraq. Insurgents waged 42 coordinated attacks across the country, leaving almost 100 civilians and security forces dead, and hundreds injured. The attacks came ahead of America’s planned withdrawal from Iraq. Can Iraqis handle their own security and should America focus on our own problems here at home? 

President Obama announced the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq last August, but 2010 was still a tumultuous year in the region. How will Iraqis remember 2010? And what do they hope for in the year to come? Dr. Lubna Naji, a recent graduate of Baghdad Medical School, joins us to reflect on the past year and to share what she looks forward to in 2011.

The last convoy of U.S. combat troops left Iraq overnight, moving into Kuwait under cover of darkness. Today, how are Iraqis feeling about the war? Is it over? Are they relieved, or worried about combat troops leaving when the country remains in politicial turmoil? We're joined by Lubna Naji, a 24-year-old medicine studies graduate from Baghdad, who tells us about her own feelings on the current situation there. She says, "They had a good strategy for war. they did not have a strategy for what's going to happen after the war."

As the U.S. prepares for a full drawdown of troops in Iraq, we check in with Lubna Naji, a recent graduate of Baghdad Medical School. She says she is less concerned with the withdrawal of troops from her country than the restoration of services like electricity and water supplies. Life there is "barely tolerable," she says.

It has been nearly seven years since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Today, as the country awaits results from the March 7 national election, we check in with Iraqis about the state of their country.
