Ⅳ.Skimthefollowingpasasgeandreadthestatementsgivenrightafterthepassageandjudgewhethertheyaretrueorfalse.Write“T”fortrueand“F”forfalseonyourAnswerSheet.(10points,1pointforeach)
(1)AcrucialpoliticaltransitioninIraqbeganattheendoftheoccupationonJune28andwilllastuntilthegeneralelectionssetforDecember31,2005,ashasbeendocumentedinthesupremelawoftoday’sIraq,theTransitionalAdministrativeLaw.TheinterimgovernmentwassworninonJune1,waitingtotakethereignsofsovereigntyfromtheCoalitionProvisionalAuthority.Questionsremainwhether,inthecoming18months,theinterimgovernmentcanreviveIraq’ssluggishpost-warreconstructionandexerteffectivecontroloverthecountry.
(2)Firstofall,thelegitimacyofthenewgovernmentremainsanissue.Thepresident,vicepresidents,primeministerandministershaveallbeenappointed,notelectedpopularly.BothPresidentGhazial-YawerandPrimeMinisterIyadAllawiwerepluckedfromtheU.S.-pickedGoverningCouncil.Also,onethirdofthenewcabinetarealsomembersofthecouncil.TheonlydifferencebetweentheinterimgovernmentandtheGoverningCouncilisthatallthe25membersofthecouncilwereappointedbytheUnitedStatesalone,whilethe33membersofcominggovernmenthaveaUNstampofapproval.Astheinterimgovernment,liketheGoverningCouncil,wasnotelectedbytheIraqipeople,itsauthorityasapro-democraticinstitutionisquestionable.
(3)Thesecondunknowniswhethertheinterimgovernmentcanestablishsomekindofpowerbalance.TheTransitionalAdministrativeLawsaysthattheinterimgovernmentisafederalbodyconsistingoflegislative,executiveandjudicialauthorities.TheNationalCongress(275members)isthelegislature.Thepresidencycouncil(onepresidentandtwovicepresidents)andthecouncilofministers(includingtheprimeminister)constitutetheexecutiveoffices,whilethejudiciaryismadeupofahigherjudicialcouncilandafederalsupremecourt,includingitsbranches.Basedona“checksandbalances”systemamongthelegislature,judicialandexecutivebodies,thethreebranchesofgovernment,intheory,providedecentralizedbalanceofpowersinsideafederalframework,whichisbasedonthegovernmentoftheUnitedStates.
(4)ItisstilltobeseenwhethertheinterimgovernmentcanagreeonaworkableconstitutionandrelinquishauthoritytothewilloftheIraqipeopleonceelectionsdotakeplace.AccordingtotheTransitionalAdministrativeLaw,fromthehandovertotheendof2005,Iraqwillholdseveralregionalelections,includingtwoforthenationalcongress.Therewillalsobeanationalreferendumontheconstitution.TheUNwilldispatchagrouptofacilitatetheprocess,butitwillnotbeeasy.
(5)Iraqhadlongbeenundertheroleofahereditarymonarchandthenamilitarygeneralafteracoupin1958.SaddamHusseinhadexercisedheavy-handedrule,allowingnopoliticaloppositioninthecountry.MostIraqishaveneverexperienceddemocraticrightsandmayindeedfindithardinitiallytoadaptthemselvestosuchasystem.Theinterimgovernment,therefore,facesatasktoimplementapoliticalsystemthatIraqisareneitherfamiliarwithnorfullytrustingof.Norarethenewleaders.
(6)Furthermore,numerouspoliticalfactions,religioussectsandtribesinIraqremaindeep-rooted.Kurds,inthemountainousnorth,accountingfor22percentofIraqipopulation,haveastandingarmyofnearly70,000.Manylocalsdonotwanttoletgoofthedefactoautonomytheyhavehad,underU.S.andBritishairprotection,sincethe1991Gulfwar.HusseinattemptedtosubjugatetheKurdsunderhisrole,sotheyhavethusbeenverycooperativewiththecoalitionarmy.
(7)Yetanothervariableiswhethertheinterimgovernmentcanindependentlyexertstatepower.DespitetheexplicitsupportoftheUN(supposedtorepresenttheinternationalcommunity),theinterimgovernmentisstillontheleashoftheUnitedStates,thoughperceptionsmayvarytowhatdegreeandforhowlongthiswillbethecase.Itisundeniable,nonetheless,thatthisnewgovernmentwillhavelimitedpower.TheUnitedStateswillkeepits138,000troopsinIraqatleastforthedurationofthetransitionalperiod.ThenewIraqiGovernmenthasexpresseditswishtohave,atminimum,asupervisoryroleinmilitary
