Radical Departure: Toward A Practical Peace in Iraq. Can the "new" approach to the Iraq mission succeed where the previous effort failed? This report answers "no".

The report analyzes the failures of the US postwar mission in Iraq and proposes essential steps toward peace, stability, and US withdrawal. By Carl Conetta.
