IRAQ'S THREE CIVIL WARS: IS THE U.S. RELEVANT TO THEM?
A renowned scholar of the Middle East, Juan Cole has written extensively about Egypt, Iran, and Iraq, as well as South Asia. After Sept. 11, he launched a Weblog, Informed Comment, to offer the public a more accurate interpretation of the Middle East.
"Informed Comment" became a phenomenon, generating in some months as many as a million page views, and making him one of the top bloggers in the world.
