Sign Up for ASP Alerts 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.
