"There is no reason why America's withdrawal from Iraq should be
as dishonest as its intervention has been judged to be."--Brendan
O'Leary, from the PrefaceBoth the American people and Arab Iraqis
have voiced their overwhelming desire to see U.S. troops removed
from the country. "How to Get Out of Iraq with Integrity" argues
that the U.S. military intervention in Iraq must come to an end.
But it must come to an end in a judicious, pragmatic, and orderly
fashion. In this book, Brendan O'Leary spells out why that
withdrawal can begin to occur now, why it is in the best interests
of the United States and the Iraqis that withdrawal occur, and why
Iraq can function as a federation once the U.S. military has left
the country."How to Get Out of Iraq with Integrity" provides an
in-depth analysis of the new Iraqi constitution, an evaluation of
the political goals and powers of the major ethnic and religious
groups that will constitute the new Iraqi state, and an assessment
of the regional realities of a Saddam-less Iraq. With a viable
constitution and other institutional structures already in place,
Iraq is poised for a future as a sovereign state. If U.S. leaders
facilitate the remaking of Iraq as a federation with four or more
regions instead of a recentralized state, the United States can
begin successfully to remove its forces.Propelled by this incisive
and bold argument, "How to Get Out of Iraq with Integrity" provides
the foundation for the incoming presidential administration to do
just that, without betraying U.S. commitments to Arabs, Kurds, or
democracy. To make his case, O'Leary draws on his extensive
background as constitutional advisor to the Kurdistan Regional
Government, the European Union, and the United Nations, along with
expertise in constitutional design and ethnic reconciliation in
Northern Ireland and South Africa.
