	Terrorism: Q & A \| Iraq
		The question of Iraq’s link to terrorism grew more urgent with Saddam’s suspected determination to develop weapons of mass destruction, which Bush administration officials feared he might share with terrorists who could launch devastating attacks against the United States.
		Moreover, Iraq has hosted several Palestinian splinter groups that oppose peace with Israel, including the mercenary Abu Nidal Organization, whose leader, Abu Nidal, was found dead in Baghdad in August 2002.
		After the war, the U.N. Security Council maintained economic sanctions on Iraq; established two “no-fly” zones patrolled by U.S. and British planes to protect Kurds in the north and Shiites in the south; and imposed international weapons inspections to prevent Saddam from rebuilding his arsenals of weapons of mass destruction.

	SPIEGEL Interview with Richard Haass: "Iraq Is Not Winnable" - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News
		It's one of history's ironies that the first war in Iraq, a war of necessity, marked the beginning of the American era in the Middle East and the second Iraq war, a war of choice, has precipitated its end.
		Iraq at best will remain messy for years to come, with a weak central government, a divided society and sectarian violence.
		The Iraq situation is not winnable in any meaningful sense of the word "winnable." So what we need to do now is look for a way to limit the losses and costs, try to advance on other fronts in the region and try to limit the fallout of Iraq.

		This work is an account of Anglo-Iraqi relations from Britain's reconquest of Iraq in 1941 until the end of the immediate post-Second World War period in 1950.
		In particular, it shows how Britain reasserted its dominant position in Iraq during the war and attempted to maintain this position after the conflict when, under the pressure of nationalist sentiment in Iraq and manpower and financial constraints at home, and in accordance with its treaty obligations, it had withdrawn all of its ground troops.
		Finally, it is the story of how the ruling class of a recently independent Arab nation struggled to free itself from the lingering grip of a major European power while still preserving sufficiently close ties with that power to ensure its external security and internal control.

		I am certainly glad to have an opportunity to engage in a concrete discussion about where we stand in Iraq and where we are going.
		Now we are being asked to invest tens of billions of additional dollars in a scheme that has not earned our confidence without a clear sense of when the demands on the American people might cease, both in terms of manpower and money.
		So it seems to me that rather than just making the case for why reconstruction is important, the Administration also needs to tell us what is going to change in terms of our efforts to date, what is going to improve, and how and when that is going to happen.
