Behaving Like a Superpower in Iraq
Larry Johnson writes that one critical dilemma we confront in Iraq is the burden of our status as the Superpower. "All people in the region - Sunnis, Shia, Kurds, and Persians - assume that we have a secret plan that we are pursuing unilaterally. The majority of these folks cannot accept that the sectarian violence unleashed in Iraq is a consequence of US incompetence. They assume that the rising sectarian violence is something we want because we are a Superpower. By virtue of our status as a Superpower it is inconceivable that we would allow such violence unless it suited our 'hidden' purposes."
