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.

A sovereign Iraq

Article Abstract:

In June 2004 the passing of the UN Resolution 1546 and the granting of sovereignty of the Interim Iraqi Government was heralded in June 2004 as a mark of watershed in both international and national attitudes to Iraq. The United States and the international community will continue to be intimately involved in the day-to-day domestic politics of Iraq for many years to come.
