Abstract:
The security measures and regional diplomacy recommended by the Iraq Study Group will not bring about meaningful progress without a political agreement between parties representing broad majorities of Shia and Sunni Iraqis. Such an agreement must include compromises over the powers of Iraq's national government, regionalization, division of oil revenues, decommissioning of militias, amnesty, the status of former Baath Party members, and revisions to Iraq's constitution. We have been trying unsuccessfully to forge such a compromise for over two years. Now, there are very few cards left to play.
