Iraq: The Bullet and the Ballot, Part One

Here are some previous Think Tank programs that may be of interest.

The Unknown Iraq (aired 5/18/2006)
The news from Iraq seems to get worse by the day, but is that the whole story? Is there another Iraq behind the scenes, where long-term stability and peace is being established? And has the war in Iraq affected the prospects for democracy in other countries?

Iraq: The Bullet and the Ballot, Part Two (aired 3/24/2005)
In January of 2005, Iraqis headed to the polls for their first free elections in half a century. But as the new government takes shape, a violent insurgency and ethnic tensions continue to threaten hopes for a stable Iraq. What is the future of Iraqi democracy? What are the implications for the broader Middle East? What are the stakes for America?

Iraqi Hearts and Minds (aired 10/9/2003)
Leading up to and following the war in Iraq, a crucial view has been missing from the debate over the future of this pivotal nation: the opinions of actual Iraqis. Now, new polls conducted by Zogby and Gallup International are among the first efforts to get a reading of Iraqi hearts and minds. The results reveal mostly optimism about the future of their nation, but mixed views on the best road to take from here. What do Iraqis think about democracy? About the occupation? About the Interim Council? About the cost of war? And what does it mean for U.S. policy in Iraq?

Is Iraq Next? (aired 1/10/2002)
As the response to September 11th continues, a looming question hangs over Washington: Is Iraq Next? The hawks say take out Saddam Hussein now, or take him out later at much greater cost. The doves say contain Saddam Hussein, but don’t risk a military strike that might antagonize the Arab street and America’s allies. Is Iraq worth the political risk? Would a military operation in Iraq be like Afghanistan, or much tougher? Are there other options?

Iraq: From Stalemate to Checkmate (aired 2/26/1998)
As Saddam Hussein continues to defy the will of American and UNSCOM arms inspectors, members of the original Gulf War coalition are left wondering what to do next. Think Tank explores some of the options.
