Iraq: The Regional Security Dimension

Long-term efforts to stabilize and rebuild Iraq will depend in large part on the meaningful cooperation of its neighbours.
1) Is it in the interest of all of Iraq's neighbours to cooperate on security issues?
2) Will the US engage Syria and Iran in the process?
3) What new mechanisms could be established to strengthen dialogue among Iraq's neighbours and facilitate their support of the Iraqi government?
