Iraq in the shadow of civil war
Article Abstract:
Al-Qaeda, the party primarily responsible for Iraqis marching into civil war, with associated Islamic nihilists and Saddam-era henchmen have openly declared their intention to ignite civil war by committing dreadful acts of mass murder specifically targeted at Iraq's Shia. The civil servants, women activists, professionals and Sunni clerics are the people who refuse to be reduced to their ethnic identity, but rather identify themselves through their convictions and commitment to their people.

Revisions in need of revising: What went wrong in the Iraq War
Article Abstract:
A study is presented that casts doubt on the assumption that the United States squandered an historic opportunity to reconstruct the Iraqi state through mind-numbing incompetence. A realistic appreciation of the manifold problems that would arise from the invasion of the country actually pointed to the conclusion that Iraq ought not to have been invaded and liberated at all.
