InfoTrac Reader Iraq Iraq and its American occupiers have had numerous troubles since the April 2003 American invasion. The initial invasion went fairly smoothly, but the occupation—led by the Americans and enforced primarily by American troops—has been plagued by unexpected military resistance; there has also been a high degree of Iraq-on-Iraqi violence. The economic recovery of the country is not proceeding as hoped. The American-led Coalition Provisional Authority was scheduled to hand over sovereignty and most non-security day-to-day functions of government to an interim Iraqi government on June 30, 2004. It is unclear how effectively this government will rule, and if there will be smooth elections to create a permanent government.

(World)(weapons of mass destruction in Iraq) Michael Duffy. Time Feb 9, 2004 v163 i6 p42 (2200 words) Christopher Hitchens, "Taking Sides." The Nation. October 14, 2002. For twenty years, the British-born Hitchens wrote the "Minority Report" column for the left-of-center weekly, The Nation. In 2002, he found himself among a handful of leading left-wing intellectuals who supported going to war with Iraq. This left him at odds with most of his colleagues at The Nation and with most of his readers. This, therefore, was his final column for the magazine. There is really only one question to ask here: why would someone on the left support a war to overthrow the regime in Baghdad? Basic John Lloyd, "The Case for a Just War." New Statesman. September 16, 2002. Like Hitchens, Lloyd is a left-leaning British journalist who is at least open to supporting war with Iraq, though his article is far more nuanced and less angry than Hitchens' farewell column in The Nation. Because this appeared in the UK's New Statesman (which appeals to the same kind of readers as The Nation), Lloyd focuses more on British than American policy. Again, the question is why someone on the left would support going to war with Iraq. Basic David Cortright and George Lopez, "Disarming Iraq." Arms Control Today. 32 (September 2002). By two of the most respected authorities in the peace studies field, this article explores non-military approaches to disarming Iraq. Cortright and Lopez have been following US-Iraq relations since the first Gulf war and have long been critics of Washington's policy. This is one of the best critiques of the Bush Administration's plans, but it is also an article that many readers will find unsatisfying. Intermediate Mark Bowden, "Tales of the Tyrant." The Atlantic Monthly. May 2002. This lengthy article tries to bring Saddam Hussein to life. Bowden chronicles not only his repression and the other excesses of the regime but what Saddam Hussein is like as a person. We learn that not only is he a tyrant, but he likes to swim and watch movies from the Godfather series. Intermediate Jeffrey Goldberg, "The Great Terror." The New Yorker. 25 March 2002. This even longer articles explores the use of chemical weapons on the Kurds during the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s. It chronicles not only the immediate effects of the attacks but more recent evidence of cancers and other illnesses caused by the weapons more than a decade after they were used. Intermediate Pollack, Kenneth, "Securing the Gulf." Foreign Affairs, 82(July-August 2003). The best known liberal analyst who supported the war against Iraq casts his eye to the region as a whole in the aftermath of Saddam Hussein's defeat. Intermediate. Stephen Zunes "Foreign Policy by Catharsis: The Failure of U.S. Policy Toward Iraq." Arab Studies Quarterly. 23 (Fall 2001). Professor Zunes of San Francisco State University is very definitely not one of the leftists who supports war with Iraq. In this article and elsewhere, Zunes argues that the Iraqi regime is repressive—and worse. However, he also argues that there is no pressing need for a military solution and that the United States is in danger of violating international law and abusing the United Nations. Intermediate Keiko Sakai, "Modernity and Tradition in the Islamic Movements in Iraq." Arab Studies Quarterly. This scholarly article explores the hard-to-get-at world of the potential opposition to the Baath regime in Iraq. It focuses less on the exile communities and the Kurds of the north who have gotten the most attention in the Western press. Instead, it concentrates on the historically oppressed Shiites of the south, who make up the largest single component of the Iraqi population. Advanced Judith S. Yaphe. "Iraq: The Exception to the Rule." The Washington Quarterly, Winter 2001 Professor Yaphe of the National Defense University wrote this article six months or so before September 11. In it, she reviews the limited success sanctions had had on Iraq in the decade after the Gulf war and questions the broad direction of US foreign policy toward Iraq. Intermediate Francis Ricciardone. "Supporting a Transition to Democracy in Iraq." Middle East Policy 7(October 2000). At the time this was written, Mr. Ricciardone coordinated State Department policy on the transition to democracy in Iraq. As such, it is a good, brief summary of the Clinton Administration's policies late in its term in office. Note that this whole issue of Middle East Policy consists of good articles on Iraq, all of which are on InfoTrac. Basic Ofra Bengio, "How Does Saddam Hold On?" Foreign Affairs 79 (July-August 2000). This article by an Israeli scholar appeared in what most analysts think is the most prestigious foreign relations periodical in the United States. A year before September 11 it explores how Saddam Hussein and his supporters are able to stay in power despite all the opposition they face from outside of Iraq. Advanced Robin Wright, "America's Iraq Policy: How Did It Come To This?" The Washington Quarterly. 21 (Summer 1998).. Robin Wright, foreign affairs editor of the Los Angeles Times is one of the most respected and experienced journalists working on the Middle East. Although this article is now more than four years old, it is still worth reading to provide an understanding of US-Iraqi relations as they evolved after the first Gulf war. Intermediate.
