 Fables
of the Reconstruction
By
Jason Vest
According
to a closely held Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) memo
written in early March, Iraq’s chances of seeing democracy
succeed have been severely imperiled by a year’s worth
of serious errors on the part of the Pentagon and the CPA,
the U.S.-led multinational agency administering Iraq. Far
from facilitating democracy and security, the memo’s
author fears, U.S. efforts have created an environment rife
with corruption and sectarianism likely to result in civil
war.
