What responsibility does the US bear for helping to solve the Iraqi refugee crisis?
The American military had to adjust to being an occupational administration rather than a conventional military force and there were several mishaps during this time due to the unfamiliarity with the region, the local leadership and different cultural mindset of the local population. Suicide bombings became more prevalent resulting in tragic casualties until the “Surge” strategy stabilized the situation to a certain extent. At the present time the Iraqi administration and military are taking the lead in several regions with the American military serving as a backup force or in an advisory capacity. Based on the Pottery Barn rule and on the analogy of closing the barn door after the horse has bolted (debaathification strategy), the US bears a large responsibility for helping to solve the Iraqi refugee crisis and replacing the broken barn with a stable society.
