Death, Destruction & Resilience: Nadje Al-Ali on the 20th Anniversary of U.S. Invasion of Iraq

[Uncle Joe]

As the 20th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq approaches next week, Democracy Now! begins our look at the Iraq War’s lasting after-effects on Iraqi society and the shape of global politics today. “The story of the past 20 years is a story of destruction, devastation, corruption, incompetence, but also a story of resilience,” says Nadje Al-Ali, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at Brown University and author of several award-winning books on the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq, including What Kind of Liberation? Women and the Occupation of Iraq.

1. DU was my refuge when that god awful war started

All based on lies of course and everyone on here knew they were lies. The Big Lie of the era was Saddam, Saddam, Saddam. I feel if you took a poll of Republicans of a certain age a majority of them would think Iraq attacked NYC. Amazing what our so called liberal media lets these war criminals get away with.

Peace
