Twenty-eight months after Operation Iraqi Freedom, there is
an ongoing public debate on the war’s repercussions.
Is democracy taking hold in Iraq? Is Iraq constituting the
start of a domino effect in the Middle East, a region long-
dominated by dictatorships? What about the thousands of
Iraqi civilians being killed everyday as a result of the
war?
Is it the Iraq war that has set the stage for ongoing
reform attempts in the Middle East?
Is President Bush serious about his reform initiative in
the region? Can he be serious, even though the United
States has long backed the Middle East's dictators,
including Saddam Hussein, and considered them America's
allies?
Is the Greater Middle East Initiative achieving its goals?
What lies ahead for Iraq and the Middle East?
