Five Years of War In Iraq

There have been many views of America's war in Iraq. George Friedman's article "Stratfor's War: Five Years Later" suggests that the conventional wisdom concerning Iraq has failed to understand what is at stake for the United States and the region. I strongly commend this article to your attention.

Fouad Adjami, an important Middle Eastern scholar, has offered another view of the war in the Wall Street Journal for March 19, 2008. His "No Surrender" is worth reading, as is everything Adjami writes, but I believe Friedman's article is the more insightful. Adjami's article can be found at:

You may have to Google this one to bring it up. I am having difficulty with the link.
