Can the Coalition build a national Iraqi army and police in the midst of a civil war?

Day after day, scores of bodies litter the streets of Baghdad. To stanch the violence, the U.S. has spent billions to "stand up"the Iraqi forces. In this joint production of FRONTLINE and AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS series, FRONTLINE takes a hard look at how the four-year training effort has failed and how the Coalition-trained forces have themselves been infiltrated by various sectarian militias. Now, with President Bush proposing to send new U.S. troops to Iraq, it remains to be seen if America and its allies can build a national Iraqi army and police and restore order.
