Introduction: the theory and practice of predicting political change-- Paradigmatic views of political change in the Middle East: Arab exceptionalism and the international order -- Paradigms ofchange and American foreign policy toward Iraq in the 1980s: moderating a totalitarianregime and theroad to the Gulf War -- Containing a rogue state: the Iraq policy of the Clinton administration --September Eleven, the Bush administration and the ascendance of the neoconservative vision of democratic universalism -- The buildup to Operation Iraqi Freedom: implementing democratic universalism -- Operation Iraqi Freedom: the rise and fall of democratic universalism -- Reflections on the Iraqi predictive predicament.

Coming at the heels of September 11, Operation Iraqi Freedom has focused the limelight on theway in which the United States predicts and manages political change. The failure to find WMD and more important, the continued violence in Iraq instead of the hoped for democracy, has engender an acrimonious debate on the motives of the Bush administration and its uses or misuses of intelligence. The question of who got what right or wrong has been fought out along ideological, and partisan lines, with supporters claiming that, given what was known about Saddam Hussein, the decision to change his regime was justified and detractors arguing that a group of largely Jewish neoconservatives, acting on behalf of Israel, manipulated intelligence in order to trick the United Statesinto an unnecessary and costly war. The book provides a systematic andobjective analysis of the problems that facedAmerican intelligence indeciphering the behavior of the highly secretive and confusing Iraq regime and its enigmatic leader.
