A Broken Middle East: a wasted decade of war on terror



Did you know that almost every day in London there is an interesting lecture to which you, and I can attend. This one caught my eye and I would suggest that for any sane person with an interest in this current so called, 'war on terror' that you get out and attend this one. It is on tomorrow evening at the LSE.

A Broken Middle East: a wasted decade of war on terror

Department of International Relations inaugural public lecture

Today’s Middle East is broken. The crisis of prolonged authoritarianism and failed economic policies have caused chronic poverty, pervasive corruption and the rise of extremism in Arab societies. A wasted decade of war on terror has reinforced widely held perceptions that the West is waging a crusade against Islam and Muslims.
Fawaz Gerges is a professor of Middle Eastern politics and international relations at LSE.
