Description

Since 1991 the international community has imposed and sustained an impressive constellation of measures to bottle up the Iraqi regime--an oil embargo, other economic sanctions, intrusive inspections, two "no-fly" zones, and the Kurdish "safehaven" in northern Iraq. For its part, Iraq has opted to "tough it out" rather than fulfill the cease-fire conditions that ended the Gulf War. The stalemate has devolved into a test of wills, with Saddam Hussein betting that the discipline of his Ba'th Party cadres will outlast the unity of the coalition arrayed against him. For 5 years U.S. policy has managed to steer a coalition of states which share broad interests in regional stability and free trade. Yet below these common interests, the United States has walked a tightrope stretched between competing objectives vis-avis Iraq, e.g., undermining Saddam while preserving Iraq as a counterweight to Iran; protecting the Kurds while not promoting their independence. Time, however, has a habit of eroding international coalitions and exposing seams in the details of policy. Iraq's September 1996 actions in the Kurdish north found such a seam in coalition objectives, or, to return to the original metaphor, shook one anchor of the U.S. policy tightrope. This study by Dr. Stephen Pelletiere examines how the Kurdish crisis developed, why--most disturbingly--the key coalition members divided in response to U.S. actions, and what factors might guide future U.S. policy. He concludes that U.S. policy needs reanchoring if we are to achieve our paramount interests in this vital region.
