Scenarios for 2007: Scenario one: Unitary Iraq
Article Abstract:
The political situations of Iraq in 2007 are assessed by using various scenarios depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the central government. The development of a stronger cross-sectarian Iraqi Army with low-level US assistance and commanded by the federal government are some of the possible mechanisms for the reversal of state weakening.
