Bring your questions about the regime of Saddam Hussein, its recent demise, and the future of Iraq to a talk by Iraqi exile Kanan Makiya. Makiya, an MIT-trained architect who is a professor of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies at Brandeis University, gave up architecture in 1981 to begin work on his seminal work about Ba'athist rule in Iraq, Republic of Fear. A member of the Iraqi National Congress, he became a key player in the exile community pushing for Saddam's overthrow. He is currently an adviser to Iraq's Interim Governing Council and a member of Iraq's consitutional committee.
