As Gordon Brown announces a timeteable for UK troop cuts in Iraq, Al Jazeera's Seb Walker examines how things have changed in Basra in the last few years.

  • so... British leave Basra... where's all the civil war?

    See the neocons keep lying...TRUTH is there are no WMD, there's not going to be a civil war when troops leave... it goes on and on.

  • Thi islamist have become stronger thanks to this stupid invasion.

    More and more iraqis are seen the extremist as a way to fight back the americans.

    I do not believe that's what they really want.

    A islamist country is slowly but surely been built.
