abstract = "As of 2009, the Government of Iraq had failed to take key steps needed to promote reconciliation between Iraq's Sunni and Shi'a communities. In contrast, Iraq's tribal leaders began working as soon as security improved in 2007 to re-knit the Iraqi community through the processes of tribal law. This article explores their efforts in Baghdad in 20082009. It is based primarily on approximately 30 interviews conducted when the author was a member of a Human Terrain Team supporting the US military.",
