"The Fight for Iraq: A Regional Powerplay"

Posted by Bill

NBC's Richard Engel narrates a reasonably interesting (if basic) primer on the larger factions in Iraq, as well as the interests of Iraq's neighbors. A good link for well-intentioned beginners, the aggressively ignorant and those advocating precipitous withdrawal. It does skip over the influence of local gangsters and criminals in the mix, as well as genuine religious radicals.

For the graduate course, scroll Roggio every day.

Great posts!

Graduate course indeed - thanks to you and "Professor" Roggio for the dedicated writing. You're both on my list when people ask, "well, what do you read?"
