Interview with Juan Cole

Juan Cole is professor of middle east studies at Michigan and an important expert that more people ought to be listening to. Here's a great 5 min. interview about his view of what is really going on and what we need to be doing.

Juan also makes the important point that, contra Biden and Brownback, you can't simply break up the country along ethnic lines because the ethnic lines aren't that simple to draw, and alliances dynamically flow between them. I think I have discounted this too much in the past, but he's almost certainly right.
