- Widespread violence is unlikely to return in Iraq | Ranj Alaaldin
It is wrong to suggest that the past week's bomb attacks mean Iraq is on the brink. In fact violence is in declineIn the past week, two bombs targeted Shia pilgrims taking part in a religious holiday, killing at least 66 people in Baghdad. Attacks also continue in the more volatile parts of Iraq, especially the north, where they are more frequent than elsewhere.However, this is not Iraq on the brink. Even as US troops begin to withdraw at the end of August, security will not necessarily deteriorate in any exceptional manner. Those who predict a return to devastating violence usually do so without considering who might orchestrate it.Al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) and other militants are no longer shaping the country. Previous suggestions that marginalising Iraq's Sunni political actors will lead to violent unrest are also proving to be unfounded. Crucially, Iraq no longer hosts the same organised and potent terrorist activity it did before.Sunni Arabs, the most disenchanted in the aftermath of the war, are no longer collaborating with al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI), particularly since AQI is busy hunting the former down for engaging in the US-formed Sons of Iraq scheme that forced it and other jihadists to the north.Granted, violence may continue. Extremist groups are still able to penetrate Iraq's borders from neighbouring states. An extremist wing of the divided and outlawed Ba'ath party, led by Saddam's former number two, Izzet Douri, who is believed to be in Yemen, also continues to enjoy a safe haven in Syria, where Ba'athists recently held their first public meeting since 2003.Yet, despite ongoing attacks, Iraqis are not flocking to militias for cover and instead place their faith in the respected Iraqi security forces. As militants continue to fight in their last remaining basti それは間違っている過去1週間の爆弾テロは、イラク危機にひんしていることを意味を示唆することです
