Description

The reconstruction and reform of the Iraqi armed forces will inevitably take place in the context of both Iraq’s present and past. Saddam Hussein and his predecessors, going back to the creation of the state, have left Iraq a legacy of endemic domestic political violence, dysfunctional civil-military relations, and, in recent decades, an ideology of unremitting hostility to virtually every one of Iraq’s neighbors.
