Foreign Affairs
U.S. troops in Iraq may guarantee security, as Stephen Biddle, Michael O’Hanlon, and Kenneth Pollack argue, but they will not bring about political reconciliation, which is the key to stability. A commitment to U.S. withdrawal is more likely to get Iraq’s leaders to compromise.
In Restoring the Balance: A Middle East Strategy for the Next President, experts from the Council on Foreign Relations and the Saban Center at the Brookings Institution propose a new, nonpartisan Middle East strategy drawing on the lessons of past failures to address both the short-term and long-term challenges to U.S. interests.
