DEBATE - Can Iraq be fixed? (part 2)

  • 11 years ago

Almost every day brings news of sectarian attacks, most of them carried out by Al Qaida against Shiite targets. Cyril Vanier and his panel discuss whether the country can avoid civil war.

William JORDAN, Former State Department Official;
Peter GALBRAITH, Senior Diplomatic Fellow, Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferatio; Former UN Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan;
