IRAQ: ONE YEAR ON

Talk by Dr Glen Rangwala, 8pm, Tuesday 20 April
Leckhampton House, Grange Road, Cambridge

With two months until the projected formal handover of power in Iraq
and amidst violence and political fragmentation, I will draw upon my
recent visits to Baghdad, Falluja, and Tikrit to discuss why
developments have not matched political leaders' expectations.

Are the on-going problems due to a failure of policy-makers since
April 2003, or were they inevitable? What paths might Iraq take in
the next few years? What does the Iraq war indicate about politics
and political decision making in the countries that launched the war?
