Whether changing the regime in Iraq is a worthwhile US policy objective depends on what occurs in the aftermath of Saddam Hussein's departure. This volume explores the most urgent challenges for policymakers in a near-term scenario. In addressing the problem of how to overcome the 20-year legacy of brutality under Saddam's rule, the authors present ideas for limiting the chaos and revenge-taking that are likely to follow Saddam's overthrow, while examining the challenges that will arise for a new leadership attempting to ensure Iraqi social stability. This collection of analyses should be a useful resource for anyone interested in building a more hopeful future for the people of Iraq.
