505 0  Introduction -- An altered strategic landscape : the 
       shifting regional balance of power -- New challenges to 
       American influence : Chinese and Russian roles in the 
       Middle East -- Domestic reverberations of the war : 
       internal challenges to regime stability -- The Iraq War 
       and the future of terrorism : lessons learned and new 
       strategic trends -- Conclusion : managing the aftershocks 
       of Iraq and seizing opportunities. 
520    The conflict in Iraq has reverberated across the Middle 
       East, affecting the balance of power between neighboring 
       states, their internal political dynamics, how their 
       publics view American credibility, and the strategies and 
       tactics of al-Qa'ida. No matter how the internal situation
       in Iraq evolves, its effects on the broader region will be
       felt for decades, presenting new challenges and 
       opportunities for U.S. policy. A better understanding of 
       how regional states and nonstate actors have responded to 
       the Iraq conflict will better prepare the United States to
       manage the war's long-term consequences. To that end, the 
       authors conducted extensive fieldwork in the region and 
       canvassed local media sources to inform their analysis. 
       Among their key findings: The war has facilitated the rise
       of Iranian power in the region, but Iran faces more limits
       than is commonly acknowledged; the war has eroded local 
       confidence in U.S. credibility and created new 
       opportunities for Chinese and Russian involvement; the war
       has entrenched and strengthened neighboring Arab regimes 
       while diminishing the momentum for political reform; and 
       the war has eroded al-Qa'ida's standing in the region, but
       the network and its affiliates are adapting with new 
       tactics and strategies.
