Members of Congress are not the only ones who
can't agree on what to do in Iraq. At a Penn Law conference
last October, diplomats debated the best course for stabilizing
Iraq, with one calling for national reconciliation and the other
arguing for partition.
These policy fault lines were on display at the conference,
which marked the first anniversary of the Iraqi constitution. The
conference was organized by Assistant Professor William W.
Burke-White.
