It is not the place of this essay to enter the debate about the ‘surge’ but, briefly: the surge has helped security in Iraq but is only one temporary and unsustainable source of the reduction in violence in Iraq. There is an appearance of greater security primarily because of a fragile ceasefire by Muqtada al-Sadr and his Jaysh al-Mahdi (Mahdi Army) and because of the Sunni tribal ‘Awakening’ in western Iraq, which is probably planting false hopes of long-term Sunni power in Iraq while, according to some reports, arming Sunni tribes in the process. When the ‘surge’ ends, as it must in 2008, any collapse or failure of the al-Sadr ceasefire or the Sunni Awakening movement will likely see Iraq revert to levels of violence seen in 2006, if not worse
