Juan Cole, professor of history at the University of Michigan, discusses the American media's abandonment of the Iraq war as a topic worth covering, the humanitarian catastrophe that continues to deteriorate, the "excess deaths" in Iraq since the invasion, the total number of Iraqis killed with American complicity over the years, America's government's on-off relationship with Saddam Hussein, the failure of the "surge" to allow for 5 million refugees to return to their homes.
Juan R. I. Cole is Professor of Modern Middle East and South Asian History at the University of Michigan. He has written extensively about modern Islamic movements in Egypt, the Persian Gulf, and South Asia. His most recent book is Sacred Space and Holy War. His blog, Informed Comment, is a widely read source for Middle East news and commentary.
