The Reality and Legacy of the Iraq War

What exactly is going on in Iraq, and what are its long-term implications? What will it take for Iraq to become a stable nation? How much does this depend on U.S. policies? How will the outcome in Iraq affect oil prices and the U.S. economy? How will it affect relations between the United States and its allies and rivals? What affect is the Iraq war having on domestic politics throughout the Muslim world? Is Iran next?

To address these and related questions, the Independent Institute is hosting the forthcoming forum, “The Reality and Legacy of the Iraq War,” featuring noted journalist and author Mark Danner and national security expert Ivan Eland.

The forum will be held on Tuesday, October 17, 2006, at the Independent Institute Conference Center in Oakland, California.
