Index 330 $aThe Legacy of Iraq critically reflects on the abject failure of the 2003 intervention to turn Iraq into a liberal democracy, underpinned by free-market capitalism, its citizens free to live in peace and prosperity. It argues that mistakes made by the coalition and the Iraqi political elite set a sequence of events in motion that have had devastating consequences for Iraq, the Middle East and for the rest of the world. Today, as the nation faces perhaps its greatest challenge in the wake of the devastating advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and another US-led coalition undertakes renewed military action in Iraq, understanding the complex and difficult legacies of the 2003 war could not be more urgent. Ignoring the legacies of the Iraq war and denying their connection to contemporary events could mean that vital lessons are ignored and the same mistakes made again. 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$xInfluence 606 $aDemocratization$zIraq 606 $aIslam and politics$zIraq 607 $aIraq$xPolitics and government 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zIraq 607 $aIraq$xForeign relations$zUnited States 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011$xInfluence. 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aIslam and politics 676 $a956.70443 700 $aIsakhan$b Benjamin, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01255600 702 $aIsakhan$b Benjamin$f1977- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827112303321 996 $aThe legacy of Iraq$93918625 997 $aUNINA
