From the Paper:

"In examining the issue of sovereignty in the Middle East, it is evident that many Muslim nations have struggled and continue to struggle to overcome local challenges to the authority of the state. The insurgency against the Iraqi interim government and its American ally is only one of many examples which can be cited of internal local challenges in the Muslim world to state sovereignty, for in recent years, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan have also suffered from internal instability because of local challenges to state sovereignty. One of the primary recurring reasons why there have been local challenges to state sovereignty in the Middle East is the questionable legitimacy of many of the national governments in the region."
