From a loss of American credibility in the international community to continued instability and sectarian violence in Iraq, the geopolitical consequences of the Iraq War are still reverberating across the Middle East and beyond.
Ten years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq and fifteen months after the departure of U.S. combat troops, the outlook for Iraqi stability, security and democracy remains deeply uncertain.
