Iraq: Post-Saddam Governance and Security

Abstract

Operation Iraqi Freedom overthrew Saddam Hussein's regime, but much of Iraq remains violent because of Sunni Arab resentment and a related insurgency, compounded by Sunni-Shiite sectarian violence and increased violent competition among Shiite groups as well. Mounting U.S. casualties and financial costs without clear movement toward national political reconciliation among Iraq s major communities have intensified a debate within the United States over whether to reduce U.S. involvement without completely accomplishing initial U.S. goals.
