Excellent interview on the Sunni/Shia situation and implications: Must listen!

[dragonlady]

I'm listening to an interview with two University of Wisconsin professors on Wisconsin Public Radio, and they are really laying out the whole history and the truth about our bungling. For example, that before the war Bush couldn't grasp the idea that there could be Sunni and Shia. And that trying to link al Qaeda and Saddam was a "tragic intellectual mistake." And how the Sunni and Shia really feel about each other, now and before the war. And the role of Iran and what would happen if we attack. They obviously know what they're talking about, and I really recommend it.

You can listen to the rebroadcast tonight at 9 pm CDT on the radio, or on the Internet at http://wpr.org, or download it later from the website (Jean Feraca's "Here on Earth" program).

2. You're welcome, Miss Marple (love your stories!)

Wisconsin Public Radio has a couple of very good interviewers (Kathleen Dunn and Jean Feraca) and they often schedule guests who are really informative. I try to post notices when the conversation is especially interesting.
