Implications for Regional Stability
But if the Americans were to invade Iraq
under the banner of freedom, they would
have to assume responsibility that comes
with imperial power, including the
responsibility to remain involved in Iraq for
at least a decade (McAlister, 266).
By failing to deal quickly and realistically
with public security and economic stability,
the American occupiers created a climate of
impunity that started the country on a
descent into chaos (Cleveland, 511).
