摘要

Nothing destroys the harmony of a dinner party faster than when talk turns to America and Iraq. For people on both sides of the debate, Kenneth Pollack's book should be required reading. It is not neutral, as its subtitle makes plain. But if you want a cool, detailed and informed assessment of the options in Iraq, here it is. Mr Pollack does not gloss over the help the Reagan administration gave Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran and the failure of Bush the elder to support the Shia and Kurd uprisings after the Gulf war in 1991. He recounts the battle inside the Clinton administration, where he was a Gulf analyst at the National Security Council, between the doves who did not want Iraq to deflect attention from America's wider post-cold-war agenda, and the hawks who argued for fiercer action to keep Mr Hussein in his box of arms inspections and sanctions, or for removing Saddam altogether. At the end of 1998, with the inspectors gone, regime change became official American policy. But the Kosovo war, and Bill Clinton's desire to end his term by making peace in Palestine, ensured that nothing happened.
