It interprets "The Iraqi people consist of brotherly nationalities which have amalgamated in order to defend the existence of the eternal Iraqi Republic. [This is] why we always declare 'long live true Iraqi unity, for in it lies our strength." in the context of "March, 1959, as quoted in Adeed Dawisha (2009), Iraq: A Political History from Independence to Occupation." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
