Entanglement in Iraq

Abstract

Whatever one's view of the unilateral military action intervention in Iraq, and despite the fact that no weapons of mass destruction have been found, still the Iraqi people had been living in fear, poverty, turbulence, and repression. Now the incompetent dictator has been removed forever and the Iraqi people have been given the chance to start a new life. Iraq is home to several ethnicities, ideologies, and sects. A unified Iraq with its entire ethnic and religious populations can build a prosperous democratic state and a new regime away from segregation. Effective post-Saddam strategy will require long-term resources of money and expertise. Multinational support for the new regime is important, especially with it's difficult agendas and multiple social groups. (32 refs.)
