Effects of the conflict in Iraq:

And Internationally

Clash of Civilisations - West against the Rest

UN, EU, G8 and NATO
tensions between Allies on stabilisation and
reconstruction
■ real or perceived diversion of resources/attention

i■

/

■uncertainty could have considerable impact on
world and regional economies
000007

�Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act
Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur l'acces a /'information,

The US could win the war but lose the
peace
itteconkscaaid

■ the US, UK and other have responsibilities as
occupying powers

j

■ but they cannot not do post-conflict stabilisation
and reconstruction alone
• because of US electoral politics and enormous cost

■ they must have partners, but
■ the US could make conditions for partners
difficult
■the US may be viewed as conqueror, undercutting
its broader regional democracy agenda
000008

�Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act
Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur l'acces a /'information

US ‘failure’ in Iraq could bring about
isolationism
-

I

■ retreat to Fortress USA, withdrawing from Allies
■ US to Canada: are you with us or against us?
■ hostile/aggressive tendencies to perceived threats
► Syria, Iran, DPRK

• economically driven protectionist tendencies
increase

■ possible increased concern over secure energy
sources
000009

�Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act
Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur l'acces a /'information

US ‘success’: positive and negative
outcomes possible
■Iraqis feel liberated and a threat removed
■ reform in the region given a boost
■ US turns to Israeli/Palestinian conflict
■ other'rogues'may think twice
but also:

■ the US may be tempted into similar ventures
elsewhere
■may further undercut US support for institutions
and alliances

There are some that would like to see
the US stumble
■ those who resent an active US may want to see it
humbled
■this could include traditional adversaries - Iran,
Syria, DPRK
• but also France, China and Russia which would
like to see a multipolar world
■ as well as extremists and resentful public opinion

Lessons for 'Rogues'
Whether the US ‘succeeds’ or ‘fails’

asymmetric threats work, conventional forces do
not
go nuclear first, then engage the US (DPRK)
the international community is divided
