Iraq: Lessons Learned

The
American Security Project asked some of the nation's best minds –
military, policy, academic, business, religious, media and community –
to ponder this question: "What lessons should America draw from its experience in Iraq?"

Each Wednesday, beginning October 10, 2007,
ASP will feature a new essay from a respected American leader that
seeks to answer this question and provides insight from which we can
all benefit.

Iraq: Lessons Learned
is neither pro-war nor anti-war; rather it is designed to engage
leading figures from across America in fresh thinking about our
experience in Iraq to help us uncover the broad impact of the war on
American society, from our financial markets and university classrooms
to our supermarket aisles and courtrooms.

We
expect this project to produce compelling, thought-provoking and
occasionally controversial ideas about how we can leverage this
experience to secure a better, safer future.

We welcome your comments to these pieces and hope you will visit us each week for the latest insight.
