4 July 2005Playing With Fire: The US, Iraq, Iran Immanuel Wallerstein Commentary No. 162, June 1, 2005 When you’re a powerful country, it’s hard not to play with fire.

’Last throes’ or latest quagmire?
4 July 2005Which is it? Do we need 12 more years in Iraq to defeat the violent insurgency, or is the insurgency in its "last throes"?
Is this war essential to stop terrorism from invading our shores, or was shaky intelligence "fixed" to justify a pre-planned invasion?
