Subject: Zunes articles #165: Crisis in Iraq


Here is a short article of mine, written yesterday for The Progressive 
magazine's website, on U.S. culpability in the tragedy unfolding in Iraq: 
http://www.progressive.org/news/2014/06/187738/united-states-tragic-role-iraq

Here are some links to some other recent articles of mine on the U.S. and 
Iraq:

* From earlier this year, an overview of how U.S. policy helped create the 
sectarian conflict in Iraq:

  *Reflections on the tenth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq and lessons 
not learned:

*Another tenth anniversary piece, reflecting on the critical role of leading 
Democrats in collaborating with the Bush administration in making the Iraq 
tragedy possible:

You can find more than 70 additional articles of mine on the United States 
and Iraq, including those from 2002-2003 in which I predicted the rise of 
sectarianism and Islamic extremism in the event of a U.S. invasion, at:

I wish I could feel some satisfaction in saying "I told you so," but I 
don't.
