With the apparent success of the surge, Iraq is at a crossroads. Will it take those steps necessary to build on the security improvement and develop political stability? Or will it falter and lose this opportunity? Many issues confront the Iraqi people. Progress towards national reconciliation at both the central and local levels; the effect of the "Sunni Awakening" on Iraq's political stability; Iran's influence and growing Shia resistance towards Tehran; and the inability of the Parliament to pass election laws are only some of the hurdles facing Iraq. Please join us as H.E. Sayyed Abdul Aziz Al-Hakim addresses these and other issues.
