A Blueprint for Peace in Iraq

Juan Cole at his blog, Informed Comment, highlighted an article, "For the first time, a real blueprint for peace in Iraq", which appeared in the Independent newspaper from the UK on Jan. 5th.

In it a former defense minister from Iraq, Ali Allawi, lays out his view of what's occurred in Iraq and with Iraq's neighbors and identifies the challenges that exist because of those occurrences.
