War
with Iraq: Costs, Consequences, and Alternatives
[.pdf]
Released as part of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
Committee on International Security Studies Occasional Papers
series, this 93-page report from December 2002 examines the
political, military, and economic consequences of war with
Iraq. The report is divided into three self- contained chapters,
with each one exploring a different facet that illustrates
the potential costs of war for the United States. In the first
chapter, Carl Kaysen, John D. Steinbruner, and Martin B. Malin
engage in an extended appraisal of the national security strategy
behind the move toward a preventive war against Iraq. The second
chapter finds Steven E. Miller considering a number of potentially
detrimental military and strategic outcomes of war for the
United States. The third chapter, John Nordhaus offers his
economic cost estimations of war with Iraq by looking at scenarios
that are both favorable and unfavorable to the United States.
All in all, this paper is a thought-provoking and scholarly
examination of a pressing topic that often receives only superficial
consideration by the mainstream media."
