Juan Cole

Who is this guy and what does he want from us?

Juan Cole is actually pretty interesting and his website linked here is very informative and links to many interesting articles, which on his website he critiques.

He works in the department of history at the University of Michigan and specifies his studies in the middle east particular. His informed comment page has been almost entirely about the Iraq War for quite a while now. Most of his editorials explain that the Iraq War is basically a product of our current administration being complete assholes and their innability to wage war responsibly. In one of his most current comments he mentions that the Right will not consider the Iraq War as a civil war because the U.S. would be considered the cause of it.

To really get a good opinion and understanding of his work it is important to visit his website.
