<br/><br/> Very detailed analysis of Iraq and America's policy towards it. Concludes that America's policy mistakes, the self interest of other states, and Saddam Hussein himself, have contributed to severely restrict US policy options. Part 1 deals with the historical perspective, part 2 considers the position of Iraq at the beginning of the twenty-first century including the threat it poses and the regional perspective, and finally part 3 considers the possible options open to the United States ranging from containment to invasion and subsequent rebuilding.
