A Broad View of Iraq

photoThis week's bloody uprisings in both Sunni and Shiite controlled areas of Iraq suggest that resistance to U.S. troops is more widespread than anyone thought.

With the June 30th handover less than three months away, we look at where the occupation stands now, and how — or even if — the transition to Iraqi sovereignty will work.

Guests:

George Packer, New Yorker staff writer

Graham Allison, Director, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, former Assistant Secretary of Defense with the Clinton administration.

This program aired on April 9, 2004. The audio for this program is not available.
