Abstract

There is now a fuller realisation in the US that the Iraqi insurgency has political causes and therefore warrants political responses. Some in Washington also understand that the US occupation entails military measures that intensify anti-American sentiment. There is greater appreciation of the importance of unity in the politico-military management of the counter-insurgency effort. Militarily, there is a recognition of the need to shift as much of the burden of law-enforcement and counter-insurgency to Iraqis; for coalition forces to operate within communities; and for more troops. Yet none of these problems admit to ready solutions and few are being acted upon satisfactorily.
