Iraq has become the homeland security front line on two counts. Firstly, there is some evidence that suggests that the battle initiated by Al-Qaeda against the US - and by association the modern world and those countries working toward modernity -is now being fought by their proxies in Iraq. Secondly, Iraq represents the model of a country that has been subjected to a catastrophic event from which it seeks to recover. In considering these aspects, this article lays out the important homeland security lessons to be learned.
