Finding the Right Measures of Effectiveness for Rebuilding the State of Iraq

Abstract

There are both conventional and intuitive ways to measure success in Iraq. Both types of measures when analyzed together give a much better picture of the progress being made in Iraq vice relying on one kind of indicator. Conventional indicators can also provide misleading information when not viewed in a comprehensive holistic fashion. This paper proposes some non conventional measures of effectiveness which can be predictive in nature when viewed from the right perspective. Iraqi moods and attitudes are hard to judge and it is imperative that all indicators are analyzed together to get a true picture for decision makers.
