Abstract
Current speculation over possible US military intervention to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein suggests that 'regime change' in Baghdad is more likely to be brought about in the near future by external intervention than by internal conspiracy. It is worth considering, therefore, what might follow from such action. Much that may occur in the wake of military action cannot be predicted. However, given the enormous problems associated with any attempt to 'refound' Iraqi politics, it is clear that the occupying power would have to work through the existing forces of Iraqi political society – some openly opposed to the current regime, some closely allied to it and others deeply ambivalent.
