What challenges has the United States faced with the Operation Iraqi Freedom? How do these challenges compare to past challenges that the United States has faced in other military conflicts?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers should discuss the difficulties of working with three factions (Sunni, Shiite, and Kurds). Answers should also discuss the challenges of training and working with the Iraqi police force and difficulties identifying insurgents. Answers should also address the challenges of being viewed as invaders, not liberators, and the negative public opinion worldwide. Examples of similar challenges can be found throughout U.S. military history, particularly (as identified in the text) in fighting the Vietnam War.
