The causes of US failure in Iraq
Article Abstract:
The inability of the United States to reconstruct the complete collapse of both the administrative and coercive capacity of the Iraqi state is the prime reason for the ongoing Iraqi civil war. If the United States is unable to commit itself to the generation-long project of rebuilding the Iraqi state, Iraq will continue in its present state and it will be a defeat of historic proportions for US foreign policy.
