<"As a result of its initial miscalculations, misdirected planning, and inadequate preparation, Washington has lost the Iraqi people's confidence and consent, and it is unlikely to win them back," according to Dobbins, who argues that the situation can still be saved "but only by moderate Iraqis and only if they concentrate their efforts on gaining the cooperation of neighboring states, securing the support of the broader international community, and quickly reducing their dependence on the United States.">

This is indeed a sensible position -- but how does Iraq extradite itself from the US both in symbolic as well as practical terms? This will be very difficult indeed. And even if they can rid themselves of the US, the prospects for staving off a long-running civil war do not look promising.
