Why We're There, Where We're Going:
An Educational Forum
May 11, 7:00 pm Room 100 Independence Hall
In April 2004 the United States suffered more casualties in Iraq than during the entire period of declared hostilities last year. Almost every aspect of the American occupation remains controversial. Has the removal of Saddam Hussein helped the United States in its war on terror? What are the prospects of fostering democracy in Iraq? What are the implications under international law? How does the invasion and occupation appear to people living in other parts of the world, especially the Middle East.Professor Mark Grimsley (Department of History) - moderator.
Professor Richard K. Herrmann (Department of Political Science/Director of the Mershon Center) will discuss the broad issues of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Professor Mary Ellen O'Connell (Moritz College of Law) will address the US invasion and occupation from the standpoint of international law.
Professor Sabra Webber (Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures) will talk about invasion and occupation from the perspective of the Iraqi people.
