This brief argues that the 2003 Iraq War does not represent a dividing line between a sectarian and a non-sectarian Middle East.

The reasons for the shift include the political events that unfolded in Iraq, the spread of new media and social networking, and the search for alternatives to familiar forms of authoritarianism.
