'there is not one civil war in Iraq, but many. And he writes that each of
Iraq's three main neighboring states -- Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia --
have reasons of their own to see the current instability in Iraq continue.'

Iraq is on the "verge of becoming a failed state," according to a
report issued today by The Royal Institute of International Affairs in
London, also known as Chatham House. Al Jazeera reports that the study
suggests that, despite the recent surge of troops in Baghdad, U.S. forces
have only managed to push insurgents to nearby cities, and that they cannot
create the conditions where various groups can resolve differences with
each other. Gareth Stansfield, author of the report, Accepting Realities in
Iraq, also writes that there is not one civil war in Iraq, but many. And he
writes that each of Iraq's three main neighboring states -- Iran, Turkey
and Saudi Arabia -- have reasons of their own to see the current
instability in Iraq continue.

Syndicated columnist David Ignatius, writing from Baghdad, also concludes
that time to reconcile the different factions in Iraq is quickly running
out.

Meanwhile, Agence France-Presse interviews an Iraqi tribal leader who says
"the key to saving Iraq from the scourge of Al-Qaeda is to subject
captured fighters to the swift and deadly rule of tribal justice."

  "I always tell the Americans 'Why detain the enemy? Leave him to me, don't
detain him,'" he chuckled during an interview with AFP in a Baghdad hotel.
  "We have our own tribal legal system and this is constant and cannot be
changed. Murderers must be killed under tribal law and unless we use this
force against terrorism, terrorism will continue to rise."
