AEI's Black Coffee Briefings address the future of Iraq and its consequences for U.S. efforts to fight terrorism overseas.
April 23
Simultaneous unrest in Sunni and Shi'a areas of Iraq have raised the specter of a countrywide uprising, but sustained violence has not spread beyond Fallujah, and mainstream Shi'a have declined to join the firebrand cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Zainab al-Suwaij, Hedieh Mirahmadi, Reuel Gerecht, and Michael Rubin discuss the realities of the relationship between Iraq's Shi'a and Sunni communities. View materials from this session.
March 17
